Pet Peeves

[WallyG74]

Brings an old thread back to life

What’s wrong with that?

 

[Painted Calls]

What’s wrong with that?

Probably for the reason behind it:

When someone zombifies a thread just to argue. Get a life

Probably for the reason behind it:

Y’all don’t like to argue? I happen to know that Trip loves it!

That's not true and you know it...

Opening an almost new jar of peanut butter and finding that someone else scooped theirs from the BOTTOM.

That's not true and you know it...

Why you gotta argue about it?

Why you gotta argue about it?

Xactly

I have got a real pet peeve!
Beekeepers!
Ok, I like bees as much as anyone, but there is a big problem with how they are managed.
The beekeepers move their bees around, following where the flowers are; which most of the time are weeds. (and pretty bad weeds at that!) but at other times, they go in the most pristine spots where wild flowers grow.
And, they don't seem to clean their trucks at all before arriving, so all the weed seeds get deposited in the new spot.
So now, weeds are spreading like wild fire, though all the farm land and reserves.

I will never say beekeepers are a problem. They wouldn’t have to move so much if orchards and other field didn’t spray so much! There’s a very interesting documentary on Amazon (I think…could’ve been Netflix), and how difficult it is to time the bee arrival because of all the spraying that goes on.

I don't like to think they are a problem, but they are here.
The weeds are devastating, turning whole pristine grasslands into a carpet of poisonous weeds.
It wouldn't be that hard to just wash off their trucks?
The countryside in spring has been changed forever, and its bad for the native bees and wasps as well
