Keeping honeybees is an extractive activity. It removes pollen and nectar from the environment, which are natural resources needed by many wild species of bee and other pollinators.They are measurably less effective at pollination than wild bees and when honeybees occur in high numbers they can push wild bees out of an area, making it harder for wild plants to reproduce, which is a huge problem because a lack of wild flowers is one of the main factors behind the decline in bee populations.Initiatives such as urban beekeeping put more pressure on wild bees and worsen the decline, as it is crucial for natural ecosystems that there are a variety of pollinators, as different pollinators will pollinate different plants.

Ultimately, the production of honey has serious ethical concerns and from an environmental perspective, is contributing to the very problem that many of us think we are helping by purchasing honey in the first place.You do EVERYTHING together. You’re totally immersed in the relationship, neglectful of old friends and important relationships. You let go of your own interests/friends in favour of doing everything your partner does and, slowly, you lose your sense of self which lands you in a co-dependent relationship. Co-dependence can also develop as you wrestle with a partner’s addictions, mental health or other issues. But, no matter where it came from, planning your life entirely around another is not healthy.If we really want to protect wild bees, we should focus on creating wild flower meadows and using our outdoor spaces more effectively in order to maximise the pollinator potential of a natural world.

Your partner has a history of letting you down or making poor choices, which feeds your insecurity within the relationship. This may also be your own issue, borne of difficult experiences in your past. A lot of people have difficulty with trust — if that’s you, it’s worth working on so you don’t sabotage a potentially great relationship.You feel safe — physically, sexually and emotionally. You don’t feel pressured to do things their way. You trust your partner with the Big Stuff and to stick to the agreements you have in your relationship around sex, money, kids, porn, alcohol/substance use, health issues and the like. You trust them to listen to your point of view. And they know you’ll listen (and hear) theirs.There’s a balance to the relationship. You’re not controlling your partner — nor are you having your strings pulled. The number one clue is that you’re NOT scared of your partner, you’re not always worrying about what mood they’ll be in. You don’t feel a knot of anxiety in your stomach when you see them coming: you’re relaxed and happy to see them.

Saving the honeybee does not help wildlife. Western honeybees are a commercially managed species that can actually have negative effects on their immediate environment through the massive numbers in which they are introduced.”
