I have mountain mint growing in my yard and every pollinator imaginable goes to that plant.

It depends on the crop. Corn (Maize): Harvested using combine harvesters that pick, husk, and shell the grain. Sweet Corn might be the exception. Soybeans: Harvested using combines to cut and thresh the plants. Wheat, Barley, and Oats: Harvested using combines to cut, thresh, and clean the grain. Cotton: Harvested mechanically using cotton pickers or strippers. Rice: Mechanically harvested with combines when the stalks are dry. Potatoes and Root Vegetables: Lifted from the ground using mechanical harvesters that separate soil from the produce. Lettuce, Spinach, and Celery: Mostly hand-harvested by crews, though automation is increasing. Berries (Strawberries, Blueberries): Primarily hand-picked for fresh market quality, though some are machine-harvested for processing. Tree Fruits (Apples, Cherries): Mostly hand-picked to prevent bruising, though some processing cherries use tree shakers. Wine Grapes: Frequently harvested by hand to ensure quality, especially for high-end wines. Peppers and Tomatoes: Processed tomatoes are machine-harvested, while fresh peppers are largely hand-picked.

I remember when my brother (a teenager at the time) bought his book he had to give his music teachers name and the employee called for a reference.

This is a very interesting idea. My father has dementia. I'm not sure this would really work in this use case. He wouldn't remember to look at the display. Like I said, I'm not sure about this. It might be worth trying though.

The Millennium Machines Milo does look interesting. I wish there was an inexpensive cast iron or epoxy granite equivalent to aluminum extrusion.

African bees are super mean and aggressive. I’d be afraid also.

queenright adjective of a colony of bees : having a queen in the hive.

Not to be confused with Queensrÿche which is a heavy metal band.

Looks like it’s been ported to FreeBSD also.
