Flea took to his Facebook page in anger speaking out about 19 May Santa Barbara oil spill that pumped 100,000 gallons of crude oil into the Pacific Ocean . Flea was at the beach with his young daughter when she stepped in a tar ball . Flea wrote " Dear plains all American pipeline , my daughter just dared step on the beach for a few minutes where we live about 75 miles from the Santa Barbara oil spill you caused . She got your oil shit product all over her feet . " Flea stated he can no longer surf there or take his daughter to the beach further saying " Some kid in the hood who made a mistake selling drugs will go to jail and have his life ruined but you , you evil lying scumbags will get away with a paltry fine that means nothing to you . You could have had a shut off valve but you saved cash there too . You are the worst kind of human beings , I am infuriated you disgust me . " Flea has been very outspoken towards guns and gun violence , sometimes speaking about it during Chili Peppers shows . He often expresses his anger on his Twitter page . In 2013 , he said " why anyone would ever want to own an automatic weapon I will never ever understand . it 's a pathetic useless concept for sick people . Automatic , semi automatic , I do n't care . I 'm against em ....... . Melt em all down turn em into sculptures there is no need for them on earth . In many countries , the cops have no guns and they do perfectly fine . No civilians should be allowed to have guns . none . and I do n't think the cops should have guns either . change the constitution " . Following the racially motivated Charleston church shooting in June 2015 , Flea again voiced his anger towards gun violence saying " You are kidding me . This is too much . Humans are an over rated species . Sick . God help us . " and " The USA land where any sick madman can easily get a gun . disgusting , deplorable , unbelievable . " In August 2015 , Flea added an apiary in his backyard which includes three beehives with approximately 60,000 bees each and over 200,000 bees total in his backyard in efforts to restore the honeybee population . Flea commented on his new obsession with beekeeping by saying " Deep to the hive super organism . I love my bees . Flea 's bees . " Flea took part in the '' Pathway to Paris '' concert in December 2015 . The all-star event aimed to raise awareness about the urgency of climate action and coincides with the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris
