#DeathCamas are in their early bloom stage. Only one specialized miner bee can feed upon it - it's toxic to other pollinators, herbivores & human consumption. Gorgeous native plant but it is deadly if eaten.

Digesting Food Studies—Episode 105: Indigenous Food Sovereignty
Although Indigenous food sovereignty has been attacked and eroded by multiple histories of colonial oppression, rebuilding it can happen—through intergenerational learning, land-based practices, and relationality.https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2185102/
Kaylee Michnik, talks about her article, “Moving Your Body, Soul, and Heart to Share and Harvest Food” from Vol. 8, No. 2 of Canadian Food Studies (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v8i2.446), including the roles we all play in reconciliation & decolonization. Courtney Vaughan offers a response to the text and its challenges. Starting it off is Alexia Moyer’s account of the tasty and tenuous history of camas cultivation by Coast Salish peoples.#DigestingFoodStudies

#DeathCamas - all parts of plant are #toxic & shouldn't be handled. Only bee that can tolerate its toxins is the specialist mining bee. Toxic to animals, especially sheep. Humans have been poisoned after ingesting bulbs; kids have been poisoned after ingesting flowers & flower buds.

A pretty flower with a fearsome name: Death Camas.
Toxicoscordion venenosum (aka Zigadenus venenosus) is toxic, even to most insects. The copper-winged bee perched on top is a Death Camas Miner Bee (Andrena astragali), which feeds almost exclusively on #DeathCamas and is able to survive the experience!
