TownScientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing — Colonies surged 15-fold
WashedupcynicThe solution is so simple. Crop/pollen diversity. Instead of letting fields lay fallow for crop rotation, they could plant diverse wildflower meadows to improve quality of bee health for the traveling bees that get shipped around for crop rotation. Or the bee keepers themselves that sell the services of their bees, could ensure diverse flower and pollen options when their bees aren’t traveling.
gandalf_der_12tethe thing with diverse flowers approach is that they don’t grow everywhere … some places you will naturally only have like 1-2 types of flowers because certain flowers prefer a certain soil and some soil is maybe too meager or sth to support a wild diversity of flowers.
