Unbelievably, the hieroglyph next to the bird is a bee. It’s like whoever designed it had never seen a bee, but had them described by someone who knew someone whose cousin was stung by a bee that one time.
Not the first time this sort of stuff has happened, nor it will be last. Many many years ago, when cheap mobile VR headsets were all the rage, some Chinese manufacturer ripped off the logo of our national rail company.
They looked up “ARC”, and grabbed the first logo they found, not noticing that it was for a completely different company/product instead of the proper one for the HDMI feature.
A country that has to “reclaim” ecologically important marshes and seabed, should not be using such land for worthless crops that uses tons of fertlizers and pesticides but you can’t even eat them. At least plant grains.
What is the problem with these tulips? They are way less energy intensive than imported and greenhouse flowers and the reclaimed soil needs very little fertilizer. Now they do use a lot of pesticides, but no more than any other flowers. Link in dutch
Besides, why go for grains. You need more fertilizer, more water, and they sell for basically nothing so even if you get 10 tons of wheat per acre you’re wasting valuable ground that is perfect for tulips.
If you are a farmer on these polders you want to grow tulips, if you are the government you want the farmers to grow tulips, if you live nearby you want the farmers to grow tulips.
