Beautiful! If everyone took heed and planted native milkweed and discontinued their use of pesticides (insecticides, herbicides, any "cide,") at home, we could potentially save the monarch butterfly and the declining native bee species.
Lovely Footage of all the natural surroundings, I was happy to post it on a page to share with other butterfly lovers! Thank you for creating this video
@@adsrotufssoho5803 nah dude i planted 30 native milkweeds in my backyard as a school ffa project on my own lol it's fun and amazing to see what little lives you can save and when before i graduated from high school, i'd spot my own butterfies i released in the large parking lot and would flip out haha! monarchs have saved me from suicide as i planned to one day take my life in my senior year of high school but i can't do that if all of these little guys depend on me to live
@@keiko3099 Just seeing this 2 years later... I hope you're alright and I hope you have continued your journey to make the world a better place for you and the butterflies!
Does anyone know this "variation" of Common Milkweed because all the Common Milkweeds I've seen don't have the elongated hoods(the part where the nectar is stored; is usually kind of box like and short). The ones in this field have long, kind of wavy hoods, not the typical short, stubby ones. Thanks. Awesome video by the way:)
May I ask, where is this meadow inside Yosemite National Park? I would love to visit this spot captured in the milkweed and monarch video when I visit.
whats wrong with learning and saving monarchs??? i literally just graduated from high school and i got 30 of these plants in my backyard and a ton of seeds lol these little guys are so sweet and i always would see them stop by my school as a thank you after i released them
I love the message but what a warning! Please everyone, learn about permaculture so we can stop poising ourselves and our environment by 'modern' farming
❤ I learned this morning that the monarch has decreased by 85% in the past 2 decades due to Americas agricultural activity smh Even tho I live on the outskirts of Baltimore, i should still see bees. I have although my life and I've only lived outside of md for less than 5yrs total. In the last decade, I could count on 1 hand how many bees I've seen. The last one was on my car door and i took a pic of it. Where'd they all go? Smh shameful💔 A friend is gonna mail me some milkweed seeds to plant in October. Hopefully that'll help some. It's sad witnessing this sorta thing happen. Makes me angry too
unfortunately some GMOs absolutely wreck native milkweed. a lot of native milkweed may be hardy but some other plants can easily take them over and kill them off. they are only called weeds because of the places they can grow in, but aren't actually that invasive at all and tend to do better around the same exact kind of milkweed rather then others because they compete for the soil
Absolutely amazing.....the dance of of the butterfly
Thank you for this amazing video...off to share with other monarchaholics
С удовольствием смотрю ваши фильмы! Великолепно!

As a kid I remember seeing them all over, now I don't see many of them. I guess I now look at the milkweed in a different light.
beautiful video - very informative too
stunning footage of the butterflies, bees, hummingbird
Nature is so fantastic.
Beautiful footage!
Another great story from the Park - thank you guys - you sure know how to make an Episode!
And Erik did it again - try to take a ranger walk with him
Teachers, show the movie to your students and have them plant milkweed.
When your students see a Monarch they will make a positive connection.
bev rickles not really, then we would have to do homework

If only everyone would see this an realize how important milkweed is. As is said, everything is all tied to the Universe.

Never mind soon realized its Showy Milkweed, not Common

I recognize it. It's just outside of Curry Village if you head north out of the parking lot there is a meadow walk.
Park ranger in Yosemite is the best job
hello is it possible to use this video on my website in Australia for educational purposes it would be a great addition
Neat
Why am I thinking of Starship Troopers?
Chemtrail Sky@7:33...sad.....and sad to hear about the GMO crops bullying out the milkweed
I have to take notes for Mr.Rose .. >:(

Pesticides aren’t even needed for agriculture anyway. Healthy plants aren’t susceptible to pests or disease. Look up Advancing Eco Agriculture.
unfortunately some GMOs absolutely wreck native milkweed. a lot of native milkweed may be hardy but some other plants can easily take them over and kill them off. they are only called weeds because of the places they can grow in, but aren't actually that invasive at all and tend to do better around the same exact kind of milkweed rather then others because they compete for the soil
