Spraying just one dandelion with roundup will kill 100+ pollinators.
The flower will take days to die, and in that time will be visited by dozens of bees and butterflies, poisoning them as well.
The exposed pollinators don't die quickly, as they would with insecticide exposure. The death is slower and more brutal.
In the case of bumblebees, they lose their ability to see colors, can't find flowers, and starve to death.
If the dandelions truly are a hell no for your yard, pull them. Don't spray them.

Very impressed with the @GlosCC Arle Court Park & Ride in #Cheltenham. Efficient, lots of space, and very clean. The only issue I had was that there were no instructions about having to get a parking in the outside waiting area
