Ever wonder why ants build colonies that last generations without trashing their habitat? Or how bees pollinate without poisoning the flowers? No intelligent species will destroy their environment in the disguise for development and profit—nature proves it.

Yes! 🌿

Yes. This.

Seniors on fixed incomes face impossible costs under the SAVE Act. Birth certificates from seventy years ago cost money to replace. Passports cost $165. They built this country. Republicans want to charge them for the right to participate in it. #SaveActIsPayToVote

A pretty and pretty tiny beetle, smaller than a rice grain, in the Mojave Desert a couple of weeks ago. I think it's a soft-winged flower beetle (family Melyridae). #BugSky 🐙🌿

There are more instances of United States Citizens being detained by ICE than there are of illegal immigrants voting in elections.

No words. 🖤

No. We are all this raccoon right now.

Trees emit ultraviolet light during thunderstorms and researchers just filmed it in Nature for the first time. #NatureisAmazing!

Hoping to see this guy today—Prarie Warbler called El Jefe, supervisor of our invasive plant removal work. #BirdoftheDay #Yellow #Miami #Birds

If you’ve not yet learned American history from Mr. Smith, please treat yourself.

Suspended in balmy blue breeze, the lap of waves, sun’s warmth, cool, wet sand. 💙 May Eden be here and now. Wherever we find ourselves on Earth, nature offers rest and peace. #scapes #ocean #Stunday 🌿

Yes! Joyous and rare shot of butterflies being butterflies in habitat. 💛

Growing on the Miami Rock Ridge for the last 300ish years is a Jamaican Dogwood, Piscidia piscipula, Florida Fishpoison Tree. #ThickTrunkTuesday #TropicalHardwoodHammock #HurricanSurvivor #NativePlants #Naturalists🌿

Hello? Hello? Is there anyone there? Hello? Oh there you are… Nice to meet you… Who am I? That’s a very good question. I’m glad you asked it. Who am I? Where to start? Let’s start at the very beginning. A very good place to start… I’m The Bee Guy.

Please enjoy this little peep making its way in the big world. #Spring #KeyWest #Streetlife 🌿

After ovipositing, enjoy sweet nectar. Funfact: Rick Cech and Guy Tudor observe that Giant Swallowtails begin to oviposit around noon. #Rewild #Butterflies #NativePlants #Naturalists #Miami #Gardening #Swallowtail

Remember that time the Supreme Court rejected something Barack Obama or Joe Biden strongly supported, and they went on to publicly attack the Court, verbally threaten the justices, and try to undermine the entire Judicial Branch of our government?

The people of the United States must take the lead in saving the nation. Don't wait for someone else. We must continue to stay informed and aware, organize, protest, throw wenches in the works, and continue to prevail upon Congress and the courts. This is OUR country, not Trump's.

This message is for anyone involved in the administration or working for them directly or indirectly Just stop doing what he tells you to do :) It’s just that simply. Disobey. Deny. Slow things down. Act confused. Sabotage things. Make a mess of the paperwork.

I’m in love…

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

This is why sustainable gardeners do not use poisons or soaps to get rid of aphids. That black and orange bug, which is eating the aphid, is a ladybug larva. In its lifetime, a single ladybug will consume about 5,000 aphids--both as a larva and as an adult. We want to encourage the beneficial bugs.

In order to deflect attention away from new revelations that he raped and threatened to kill underage girls, Donald Trump will start a war with Iran.

We are paying taxes without representation. The Epstein Class ignores Congress and the rule of law while we pay for Icestapo and concentration camps.

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

Clearing a forest for a short-term project isn't "progress." It's a liquidation. ‎You're trading a permanent,complex asset (clean air, water, climate stability, biodiversity) for a one-time gain. A smart investor would never make that trade.

According to Julie K. Brown, who did such invaluable reporting on Jeffrey Epstein for the Miami Herald, the Bard College Board of Trustees is conducting an emergency meeting tomorrow. I hope they do the right thing. x.com/jkbjournalis...

Where the bee sucks, there suck I: In a cowslip’s bell I lie; There I couch when owls do cry. On the bat’s back I do fly After summer merrily.    Merrily, merrily shall I live now Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.

#theBeeAt3 Basic bee facts every day at 3pm. # 263 # 262 contd. Researchers found that Evening Primrose plants responded to the sound of a flying bee by immediately producing sweeter nectar! This indicates that plants can sense and respond to airborne sounds. They hear! #bees #nature #science

Grand Designs - You are on a self-build & the sole architect, builder, labourer, decorator & estate agent & it's late winter with dodgy weather. You would want your local watering hole to serve up plenty of nutritious food (Freshwater Shrimps), to keep you in the best tiptop form. #Wrens #WeedyPond

#Pollinators We can attract our native pollinators by stopping all landscape-wide pesticides & by planting a wide variety of native plants arranged so that pollinators can thrive. Some can only fly a short distance to find nectar. Read: beautifulnativeplants.blogspot.com/2025/04/desi...

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

We can all use more of this. ❤️‍🩹

No matter how small you are, every living thing deserves its place in the world. From this tiny bee too the great blue whale. All creatures would live in harmony but for our impacts upon them. Bee kind, put nature first and see how it will give back to you

🇺🇦 Zelensky: On his helmet are portraits of our athletes killed by Russia. Figure skater Dmyto Sharpar, who died in the battles near Bakhmut, 19-year-old biathlete Yevhen Malyshev, who was killed by the occupiers near Kharkiv, and other our athletes who were taken away by the Russian war.
