rule #1: be kind
All fun and games until you accidentally step on a nest
My sister did that with a nest of murder hornets in Vancouver. Damn near killed her, she was in hospital for 10 days after that.
Or walk over one with a lawn mower
For real fuck this article lol. Maybe true outside of America but in my experience the only bees you need to worry about saving are honey bees and they only create hives on above ground structures. If you create a hive friendly ground on your property the only shit you're guna get are wasps, hornets and the other flying fucks who don't do shit for pollinating cuz they spend all day stinging disabled minority special ed orphans who are pregnant for fun.
And your experience is...? Solitary bees make up 70% of all bees in the world (including US). They are also significantly more effective pollinators than honey bees.
Most US bee enthusiasts would cull every honey bee in America, Thanos snap style if they could. Those fuckers are the main reason for the decline of native pollinators.
