Most of the land I grow on is away from ponds, creeks and rivers, so I don't see lots of moccasins, but in the river swamps you have to look before you step over a log. That is how most people are bitten. That or fucking with them. Which is stupid as hell. I don't always kill them, but I do leave them the fuck alone if I'm not going to.

I've had water moccasin swim by me when I'm wading, I just give em a wide birth... If you don't mess with them they won't mess with you..like bees.

That is mostly the case. But if you are wading and fishing, and have a stringer of fish tied to your belt, you may have to fight to keep them. But since moccasins fish for a living, I like seeing them. That means there are fish there.

I can't grow veggies for shit. I try every year but I think I have a pollination/ bee issue.

I used to have a bee tree in my yard. A big storm broke one of the upper branches and they swarmed. I figure the rain was getting into the hollow part of the tree. I see a lot of really little bees in the garden now. They are not honey bees, but they help spread pollen. My BIL has a couple of bee hives, and he lives less than a quarter mile from me, so I get plenty of pollinators. Plus I plant flowers down the middle of the garden where the waterline is. They attract lots of butterflies and such.

I get one good picking off of my yellow squash before the squash beetles and pm sets in. I'm gonna be a lot more proactive this season than last as much as I love young yellow crookneck squash dipped in an egg wash, rolled in corn flour and fried lightly in lard (usually coconut oil lol), yum yum.

I had the same issues last year. I do spray the garden when it gets real bad, but we have long stretches where it rains every day. Not much use spraying when it's going to get washed off the same day.
