Not just other bee species, competing for pollen and nectar resources. But even some birds and mammals, competing for hollows in trees. 2026-02-13T17:15:47Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfndsfznar2a9tmplh8sxrfz98tfvwv6rrd9878ylumtrvuwq2hnczypnw4z52azmj6aehs8wyf9sfvwrmfgsaz3pjqmxvjje0y4c0yr72splxp4m In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0gudllpqeh6a9dc0uwvadyvlnjus5lftzpjwcp5k6setssc3wdkcncg2h2'>nevent1q…g2h2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Regenesis by George Monbiot<br/>Wasteland by Oliver Franklin-Wallis<br/>Invisible Women by Caroline Criado-Perez<br/>Doing Harm by Maya Dusenbery <br/>The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow<br/>Less is More by Jason Hickel<br/>Through The Shadowlands by Julie Rehmeyer 2025-12-16T00:36:37Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs99thdk7zejhe58s2hzzzk433rxwl66yua7t8mjqh2emcncwurj2gzypnw4z52azmj6aehs8wyf9sfvwrmfgsaz3pjqmxvjje0y4c0yr72slw0vqg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2dmqqpn2rkc0ypu38enw3dm2lvg7vjkc07nuxmggeh922tvc9rngyfptdv'>nevent1q…ptdv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If you donate to NPR/PBS above a very modest level, you can stream their shows too: includes a lot of British-made program(me)s — drama, documentaries.
