Yeah, the new emphasis on "pollinator gardens/spaces" has maybe made it better, but when the conversation was "save the bees they are important pollinators" the public 100% saw it as a bee specific issue.
Hanging around the chive flowers in my garden this morning and loving watching all the little bitty bugs! There was a honeybee, sure, but also lots and lots of sweat bees and parasitic wasps and butterflies and ants too.

I don't get the meme... They throw it all in the rectangular hole?
But the thing with the dying bees is just the marketing simplification, everyone involved knows that.

I don’t think the public knows that, that’s the problem.

The not-so-problem with that is that people started planting flowers to "save the bees" and inadvertently also helped other species.

Well then you'd love my flower garden cause it has all those and more cause I just saw the praying mantis eating well hiding among my wildflowers.
