RE: Nucleus Hive Installation Progress: day two

Well, I better clarify what I'm saying here. Most of our food supply is at risk because we rely on the crops we brought from Europe too. Crops native to North American are corn, potatoes, squash, muscadines.... several more that evolved separately from the European honey bee. The bee helps pollinate North American crops too... Perhaps not corn, that's a wind pollinated crop but our production would suffer tremendously without the little bee. Did you know that the earthworm is also an invasive species​ from Europe?

Sort:  

I forgot about imported crops. I read about that in a book titled "Guns, Germs and Steel". Interesting book.
I did not know that.(about worms) How? How could they spread like they have without being indigent?
