  I agree! It also means it can include single species crops that do not get rotated over time. It is an umbrella term that can be used appropriately in both contexts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On Monoculture⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This from the Phytomemeology Facebook page where the mod has some firm views on what they define as monoculture. As far as I’ve researched. Monoculture just means a single species crop, and does not reference a time frame at all. This meme is based off of the comment argument they got into

  Sounds like you need to read the book Debt: the first 5000 years by David Graeber.

  Penicillin is one of many types of bread mould.

  I too will probably die from bread mould poisoning given my stingy habits with food waste. It’s fine if it’s only the white/blue type, right?

  I did an undergrad report on MTHFR in regards to how smoking reduces folate levels which can lead to birth defects in babies whose mothers smoked during pregnancy. Did not know about the neurodivergence connection! Might give that avenue a read

  Fair point. I’m speaking from a North American perspective, but others have pointed out they may be a native or long naturalized plant.

  Ultimately, planting species that are from your local area is better for the native bees of of your area as they are adapted to them.

  Thank you, I’ll look into that and consider the impact of it on my beliefs :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨respect dandelions!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This! Dandelion pollen does not contain all the amino acids necessary to support native bees. However, because they come up first and bees often become attracted to the first things they feed on, they can actually make bees addicted to them. Because they can’t meet their nutritional requirements with them, they die.

  Plant native plants people!

  Personally, I care because I love honey, farm grown food, and they are a poster child for all bees. Without them, there is certainly a lot less care for native bees. While yes they are primarily important for large monocropped farms, that’s your food. Like, so much of your food. Natuu is very bee populations aren’t sufficient or interested in pollinating our food crops, so yes we should really care.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We are so cooked⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Specifically, honey bees (Apis mellifera). Native bees that aren’t colony dwellers may not be impacted the same by the mites.
