I'm hesitant to jump on #PollinatorWeek and provide my expertise & best bee pics for free. This week is supposed to bring greater awareness to the importance of pollinators 🐝🦋🪲🪰🦎🦇 but looking at the latest tweets, it's mostly being used for advertising. I have some thoughts The #PollinatorWeek initiative was started 13 years ago by an NGO to promote pollinator conservation -- great!

However, this NGO accepts sponsorship $ from big ag & pesticide companies like @Syngenta @ValentBioSci & @Bayer4Crops -- not so great!
