as these NATIVE pollinators make their livings off >> NATIVE plants, not off our imported and extensively hybridized FOOD plants. I think this was read as native pollinators don't use hybridized plants for food, as in we shouldn't concern ourselves if our ag crops are harmful to them because they never visit them. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I read your intention to mean no one uses them to pollinate large scale ag crops (so really make a living was in the farming sense, as in of monetary value to farmers). My thought is there is just a misunderstanding of meaning here, but I could be wrong, have been before, and will be again.
