Taxonomy
It was previously listed as a subspecies or even colour variant of Meganola minuscula.[2]
gollark: It is. We were able to implement computers using certain bread configurations, and instantiate human minds on them.
gollark: osmarkstokens™ work by adding your ownership of a thing to your osmarks.net achievements list.
gollark: Such small-scale and low-tech apionics operations, as well as the obvious output limitations, can't hope to match the bee quality produced by our automated hyperparallel apiolectromagnetic gradient descent algorithms.
gollark: It's saying we have "employees" who "build" things, which is ridiculous.
gollark: Regarding <#800374545608867860>: why would we *build* apiaries *manually*? That doesn't work at our scale. They mostly just spring fully formed from GTech™ picofabricators.
