Why didn't Ben heal very many people?
it always bugged me that in season 2 there's a scene where he's healing lots of people quickly but for most of the show he heals hardly anyone
seems like a waste of power
He has to steal life from something else to heal something.
He wasn't exactly cool with that.
I'll pump her full of motley seed, until she pops out a little me! -Shagwell
it looks like he can do it buy stealing life from plants and grass. is that true?
that wouldn't be so bad
Besides amplifying the already present Dust-Bowl famine, yeah not the worst result.
Still involves killing something to save something. Someone's livelihood depends on those crops.

true. maybe he could have focused on mosquitoes or flies.
shareThose would need to be a LOT of flies. Remember the part where he heals the guy with the scar who was covered with Tar and Feathers? There were tons of birds that died as a result.
Now imagine how many tiny flies you would need to do the same.
Also, he didn't have much control in the early stages - he sent Libby away so she wouldn't be affected. At that point, the "life" came from the nearest source.
