Funny that I posted yesterday about having no energy when you’re sick, because today I’m sick. So instead of posting some incomprehensible and low-energy article, I’ll post all the open tabs in my browser.

Weirdest Takeaway

Even bees should be eating more protein (fromThe Great Nutrient Collapse):

[The researchers] found that the protein content of goldenrod pollen has declined by a third since the industrial revolution—and the change closely tracks with the rise in CO₂. Scientists have been trying to figure out why bee populations around the world have been in decline, which threatens many crops that rely on bees for pollination. Ziska’s paper suggested that a decline in protein prior to winter could be an additional factor making it hard for bees to survive other stressors.
