Walked outside last summer, thought there was construction going on the next block. Nope. Crepe Myrtle seething with bumblebees. Got a 5G bucket of seeds out of all that.
My buckets don't have LTE data
A wild rabbit has entered the clover field

The rabbit has eaten the entire clover field.
Do spiders eat bees? 🤔
Childhood me used to keep spiders in big buckets. I’d catch bees in those little gumball machine eggs, shake them a bit to disorient them (yes I now realize how fucked up this was to do, but I was like 6-7) and feed them to my spiders.
So yes, they do, at least in certain situations.
I don't have an emoji for this.
There are spiders, that eat birds.
Six word horror story.
Found the bird.
@Speiser0 i don’t know but i think birds eat wasps
Ok, so:
There are spiders, that eat birds.

Now I can apply transitivity.
Clover is tight
Give crows feed, become a god.

Just picked up clover seeds. I'm pleased to read this.
And your HOA hates you?
Obligatory plug for self-heal (prunella vulgaris)! It's a perennial member of the mint family that produces pretty purple flowers that (according to my amateur observations) native bumblebees too large for clover can still enjoy! The plant is native to most (all?) of the northern hemisphere, and is unfortunately categorized as a weed by most lawn purists, which is actually just a testament to its hardy nature. Self-heal normally grows to about 1'-2' tall, but can also handle regular mowing and some foot traffic, just like clover, making it a great lawn additive or border plant.
