My yard is literally audibly buzzing with bees and I have clover everywhere and we have NEVER been stung. This is such a wild take for people to swing so hard on an issue that isn’t as huge of a risk as they seem to make it. My theory is that insects and animals AND people are all more violent and aggressive when food and housing instability exists. Create stability, get stability.

So clover is attacking bees ***and*** the bees are still around to sting in greater numbers than before the clover?

On more than one occasion, I’ve been stung by a wasp because someone was mowing grass, got them all riled and upset, and I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
If only I’d known at the time I could’ve SUED someone over an unfortunate coincidence of events!
(One of the stings was under/between my toes, because I’d actually caught a wasp between my foot and my sandal as I took a step. The other was on the edge of my right pinky finger because I mistook the wasp hovering in my peripheral vision for a stray lock of hair.)

I got my best friend to switch to clover and they have two daughters running around all the time. Never been stung.

Uhhhh……are flowers of any kind also not allowed? LMAO

You know this is the person who goes to buy 100 pound bags of pesticides on Feb 1 to slather their lawn with. And they wonder why they have cancer.

Are we going to file trespassing charges on insects now too?

Dumbest shit I’ve read all week.

I’m allergic to bee stings and I have a native pollinator garden and have never been stung in 10+ years.
My kid got stung while swimming in the middle of a pool. There were no clovers in the pool.

I still can’t believe that HOA’s are real things people have to live with. So glad we don’t have that here because this is a dystopian nightmare to me.

Yeah, I’m not a lawyer, so I can’t say for certain, but common sense would suggest that a homeowner is not liable for injuries resulting from transient insects passing through their property. By the logic in the post, we should eradicate all pollinator food sources to ensure no one is ever stung.
Also – it’s my understanding that one doesn’t die from the primary exposure to an allergen. It’s usually 3-4 times before the body escalates from rash/discomfort, to hives, to anaphylaxis, etc.

Why are neighbor kids gonna be in someone else’s lawn? This person needs to kick rocks.
Verity41
What in the what?! So they’re anti-pollinators?
Maybe I should chop down all my trees cuz the neighbor kid climbs them?
Nah – I just upped my insurance instead.

This kind of crap wouldn’t hold up in court (I hope)

I read this as “what happens when your clover attacks bees…” at first.
HippyGramma
Got stung on the forehead driving with the window down once. Who do I sue?
garathnor
heres what you need 😀 sprinkle it around the neighborhood
I happen to live near you – would you mind DM’ing me the neighborhood this HOA is for? This is like next level crazy, especially for this area where I would assume we would love and appreciate flowers and pollinators alike – wild

Grass flowers as well… Which bees like…

Literally just showed my 5 year old niece like an hour ago my dandelions and how they attract bees and butterflies after my MIL who was watching her was complaining simultaneously about how everyone else’s yards are brown and ours is green, and that we have too many weeds. So the natives don’t need extra water and survive the freeze? Weird. I’ll keep my weeds!

If no one trespasses on your property, they won’t need to worry about getting stung by bees 🤷🏻♀️

Somewhat related. I was thinking the other night.. if I turn my yard into a prairie scape and let’s say there are a few more rodents around potentially because of it and a neighbor gets a mouse infestation in their attic, do you think they could sue/win a lawsuit?

What do you actually have to do to be stung by a bee?

I’ve been stung by a bee in clover when wearing sandals. Once, in who knows how many times over the decades (I was a toddler then!). We did not sue the Parks Department.
meowymcmeowmeow
I guarantee he had no such friend and has just heard of people dying from bee stings and is trying one up the other person.
Edit if anyone has any tips on relocating a paper wasp nest I really would appreciate it before I go in blind because my landlord will spray, it’s between my screen and front door so it might become an issue. Tiny right now. Can I just move it like 20 feet away, will the adults still be able to locate it?

Lol I literally just planted microclover to have a more natural looking lawn and attract pollinators. If my neighbor’s say anything I’m going to laugh my ass off.
aagent888
I’m sorry am I getting compensated for the pesticide and herbicide exposure because my neighbors have their lawns serviced? Do I get compensated for harmful algal blooms caused by entities dumping ungodly amounts of fertilizer on their lawns?
If those producing point sources of exposure (IMO, yes, these are point sources) cannot be held responsible how can someone be responsible for a PASSING INSECT

LOL wow. This is craziness at its finest. We don’t want pollinators? How stuck up your own ass can you be
A boomer neighbor of mine effectively made this same argument about no mow May 🤣
The response from another homeowner is equally wild.
Does he think he can sue someone if a bee stings him?
Can I sue for allergies then? lol
Wha? But they must have ornamental flowers right?
Imagine thinking you can sue someone because you got stung by a bee.
What a sad person.
