The theme was bees and blueberries. The team did some research and found out, according to someone, supposedly the more times that a pollinator visits a bloom the sweeter the fruit becomes. I believe it. I wish I had the reference for that study now.

Birds are responsible for pollination, too. We're losing them at alarming rates worldwide.

Frankly, I'm concerned about the natural world writ large.
