Good stuff!

IMO, Permaculture is spreading slowly, but surely. There are just lots of people out there that don't advertise what they are doing or don't call what they do permaculture (like Paul mentioned). I mean, there are some Horticulture programs that require a credited permaculture class, degrees for small scale regenerative ag, agroforestry degrees, etc. I like to think that these things came about because of permaculture.

As far as creating a unified push, I don't think I'm down for this or at least it wouldn't be worth the effort. When I reflect on my own journey, I went Justin Rhodes videos to Andrew Millison OSU PDC to SoilFoodWeb classes. But there were so many voices in between, Wheaton, Perkins, Lancaster, Worms, Sharashkin, Spackman etc. Oh, and so many podcasts. The diversity is amazing, and each time I've reached out to someone for help, they have been ready to advise no matter how 'big' the name.

At the end of the day, Paul's right. If you feel like more needs to be done, then do more. That's what I keep telling myself.

I have a question related to treatment free beekeeping and Dr. Elaine's SFW work.

I've listened to podcasts from Dr. Leo, and others who practice treatment free beekeeping. I've heard Dr. Leo talk about catching feral swarms because they have the genetics to resists pest and diseases. How much is this related to their genetics, and how much could be attributed to beneficial microorganism?

If microorganisms play a significant role in fighting pests/disease, is there a possibility to 'inoculate' hives the same way SFW inoculates plants and soil with beneficial microorganisms?

Side note: I'm about to return to the US and start a year sabbatical. I'll be in South Louisiana, and I want to learn as much as I can about treatment free beekeeping. Anybody in the area need a hand, I'll work for knowledge!

Does anyone have experience or knowledge about Cyrtocarpa Edulis seeds? I have three seeds, and I can't find any information about getting the seeds going.

Anything at all would help.

Thanks!
