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.

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.

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

But a square is a rectangle

This meme can be taken a few different ways. This makes me think of this book I'll link below that shows how people get really hyped about certain species and forget about the rest of the ecosystem.
