I love honeybees but they get way too much of the attention

The meme refers to who is often thanked for pollinating flowers and who is protected from extinction

Whenever people talk about protecting bees, they mean honey bees (Even when a photo appears, it is mainly of honey bees or their hive)

And it is honey bees, among others, that have influenced the number of solitary bees (Adding to this human activity on meadows, i.e. their reduction, and it is wild flowers that solitary bees feed on)

Bumblebees and solitary bees are the main pollinators, but people will only talk about honey bees, yes, that's why "Bee Movie" is sus, and it was he who most influenced the thinking that if honey bees go extinct, everything will automatically wither, because apparently there are no solitary bees or bumblebees in this universe)

We should take more care of solitary bees and bumblebees, because they are the most valuable of all pollinators + They are less aggressive than honey bees

Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there

Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards

If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.
