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.
