In Minnesota, we take the environment seriously.
So it wasn't particularly surprising when Minneapolis-based General Mills and Honey Nut Cheerios launched a "Bring Back the Bees" campaign at the beginning of March to raise awareness about the declining pollinator population.
The idea was to distribute enough seeds for Americans and Canadians to plant 200 million wildflowers for pollinator habitat.
Ah, General Mills. If you had only been listening to KUMD online for a while, you could have avoided the debacle that followed.
