Congratulations on the new book. But I must mention and make a point, 70%
of naturally occurring pollination does not take place from “honey bees” as
America archives them today. The “native honey bee” that so many strive to
protect is actually an invasive species. There are more than 44 different
species of native/non-colonial “honey-bees” that do exist, not to mention
varying arthropods that pollinate throughout Appalachia proper. These
species will do exactly what is intended. “Honey bees”: such as those from
Morocco and Turkey, are only sought after and embellished due to the fact
that they create large hive structures and store glucose, aka “honey”, for
human consumption, let alone stores of energy for the hive.
Please take this into consideration for future viewers, let alone
individuals in areas that do not sustain or have the specific zones for any
form of honey bee, let alone the fluora to sustain such hives.
