@EUCommission
Hah, cool meme! Let's not forget that you're on the Fediverse, though, not just Mastodon. (It's like saying "Send me a hotmail!")

You may even want to look up and possibly adopt the @FediverseSymbol

@EUCommission about the image: i didnt expect funny memes from the european comission account. i love it

@EUCommission the European commission is memeing on me and I'm not complaining

@EUCommission I don't get it what Mastodon has to do with bees.

Do you post similar things to suggest facebook, google or instagram are out of touch with reality, too?

Or, 🤔 Since you post it on mastodon, you want to show how you give in to silliness?

This is too goolge for me - , err… meta. 🤯

@EUCommission

Another great #succesful post in that #circus that is the #EU and the community manager of this account.

Does the community manager ever heard about the Bayer - Monsanto rigged buying to past approval of the carcinogenic #RoundUp.

Yeah! Your fleas became giants again. 😒

@EUCommission Words on the one side and Action on the other my dear!

You know what we really do not like here in the Fedi? It’s liars!

@EUCommission

I love the image, but the "excessive use of pesticides" is absolutely something the EU commission could and should be doing something about. Ban glyphosate, please.

@EUCommission The right half doesn't describe Mastodon, but LinkedIn.

@EUCommission If you really mean this, the EC should take action to tighten the laws regarding the use of pesticides. But it seems you're planning the opposite. https://www.pan-europe.info/press-releases/2025/12/eu-commission-retreats-worst-plan-still-opens-door-unlimited-pesticide

@EUCommission
What about banning Glyphosat?

@EUCommission

You stole this from linkedin didn't you? 😉

@EUCommission \(that's crazy bro\)

@EUCommission lmao this is incredible

@EUCommission important note about bees: most of the pollination is done by wild, not honey-producing bees. So anyone who tries to "save the bees" by setting up beekeeper equipment outside might do even more damage when their honey bees drive the wild bee population away.

@EUCommission this… I… usually orgs don't… I mean… I am completely blown away by how well someone – the EU, no less, *THE hrrrngh E.U.* – can read a room

@EUCommission As a fan of bees I appreciate the effort in raising awareness on #WorldBeeDay, so don’t get me wrong here.

That said, why does your post sound like a pleed to others when you are one of the most powerful multi-governmental organisations in the entire world?

@EUCommission Less pesticides, buy organic, and eat less meat!

@EUCommission I think the image description on the right is from LinkedIn not mastodon.

@EUCommission awesome work, and thanks for engaging with the fediverse on this, I know it can be a little thankless sometimes when you get so many negative comments, but it's really appreciated.

I think it's in everyone's best interest to lower or ideally completely remove pesticide usage, as these are creating problems for more than just insects, with Parkinson's disease being a good example https://www.rivm.nl/en/bestrijdingsmiddelen/spark

@EUCommission
Pour avoir un eco-système plus sain il faudrait songer aussi à éliminer les génocidaires et leurs complices car ils ont les mêmes effets indésirables !

🔸 habitat loss
🔸 climate change
🔸 excessive use of pesticides (glyphosate an bombs) ...

@EUCommission "Okay, let's ban some of the pesticides that are killing them."

@EUCommission whipe I appreciate the humor, I do think the EU could do so much more to actually save the bees than a few people on Mastodon. The pesticides you don't want to make illegal and allow to be used forever destroy way more bees than all people on Mastodon could save 😬

@EUCommission Nice try. Whoever is working this account - do you really feel you have to work for some people, who say one thing and do the opposite?

Yes - bees are important. So is the ban on pesticides!

Please go to Uschi, tell her hello from Wolf and ask for suspension from having to publish bullshit!

Sorry for the anger - but this is hypocrisy, and I hate it, if people are doing this, people whose income I pay!

@EUCommission
Warum gibt es die Meldung, daß die europäische Commission den Bauern helfen will, da die Düngemittel knapp werden???

@EUCommission I enjoy (I don't), how the Mastodon comparison is only used here on fediverse.

@EUCommission ther is also a very important factor affecting the bee colonies. That is the cloud seeding and other geoengineering tactics used today to "cool down the planet". I belive this is the main factor we should address.

@EUCommission Wow you missed the point

@EUCommission Then stop killing bees and insects then...

@EUCommission
AND lack of biodiversity due to largefields with one single type of vegetables.
Imagine of eating one single kind of food for your life; tha would be a very poor nutritional diet -> not a long life.

@EUCommission

Good to see the EU Commission's move to Mastodon has resulted in the development of excellent memes.

@EUCommission

While I support this initiative – who doesn't want less pesticides, cleaner waterways, more nature – #WorldBeeDay is about all the other bees, whose numbers are plummeting hand in hand with habitat loss. Honeybees don't need saving; that would be like saying we have to save the birds and we start with the chicken.
