I'm glad people are investigating these things. Article too dry, I couldn't take it, but skimmed portions. Is the gist that enormous monocultures are not the best environment for bee sustainability, that they need a diversity of blooms throughout the year?

Anything that brings more pollinators is good, friend's family in Ca had an Almond orchard, always had to bring in bees to do the pollinating
