If you visit Alberta in summer, you will find thousands
of acres covered with yellow canola flowers. It looks like a yellow
carpet. This is a monoculture of one crop grown on thousands of acres in

So outside the flowering period it might just as well be a desert with no
flowering plants. No wonder there are few wild bees in those parts.
