Capitalism. I should have known. Thanks for the context!
It's a little more complicated than that, honey bees are great generalists and there have been a lot of winners among North American plants. But yeah, "capitalism" isn't far off the mark.
....how do you arrive at Capitalism from "a good portion of our agriculture"?
Simple. A good portion of our agriculture is based on capitalism. Prior to the industrial revolution (capitalism) there weren't nation sized monoculture farms full of identical genetic freakshow plants.
Because agriculture itself isn’t a problem. Rampant (and unnecessary) exploitation, to satiate artificial scarcity is.
Because as we all know, socialists don't need food.
