A clover lesson

I planted clover for the bees, thinking we were helping nature. But when bees showed up, my neighbor's kid got stung then my friend, who didn't even know he was allergic. It turned serious fast and now I think twice before planting
 
I totally understand where you're coming from. You had the best intentions, but the outcome ended up being tough. I've been in a similar spot before, and I learned to keep bee-friendly plants away from busy areas. Maybe you could try planting some native ground covers or low-profile flowers a bit further out. It's safer for everyone involved, plus it still supports our buzzing friends!
 
Oh man, that's a tough situation and completely understandable why you would be second-guessing your planting choices right now.

not a entirely sure how to do it but hopefully you can find other bee friendly options that might keep them a bit further from common areas
