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.

This is great!

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.

Doesnt work very well Im afraid. I looked at the transcript of some youtube videos and then searched on a few words and it didnt find any videos with the word. The word was powell FWIW.

I also love that book a. Anything by Seely is usually a good bet.

It must take more experience / tending and the correct cultivars and correct timing. When I tried it the results were poor.

I think there's only 1 cultivar of corn that does okish on containers.

I wonder what the "Reddit community of replica enthusiasts" is? I have to finish the article so maybe it's mentioned.

It recommended pretty unhelpful recommendations.

This is the story of America's massive forging presses built during the cold war used to build America's most advanced machinery - the Heavy Press Program. Modern airplanes, missiles, helicopters, turbines - all have parts made on these giant machines!

The Machine Thinking channel seems interesting.

I think the book The World of Bees by Charles D. Michener covers that subject. There's a pdf of that book on the net.

For some reason I’d like to share this flute instrument/ maker article with y’all.
