“Just make an enormous mess in your yard and leave it there,” Pearson said. “Don’t trim stems for winter, leave bits of old wood around—all of that is great for bees to find a place to live. Don’t rake up the leaves, leave the dead spot in your yard… One of the things we can do that is super easy that will make a difference is just be lazy. Let things be messy. Let them be untidy.”
Finally! I can now tell my wife that I'm not leaving a mess in the yard. I'm actually helping the bees.
Adverse possession is always a fun topic to talk about - I learned about it when my wife went to law school, and remember discussions filled with "what abouts" on the topic. As with any legal thing, the devil is in the details - adverse possession is not a straightforward "I took it so it's mine, yahaha" kind of deal. A close cousin to adverse possession is the idea of eminent domain, which lets governments take your property under certain circumstances.
