What do a sugar-hungry bird and a search engine algorithm have in common? More than you'd think. In this episode of the StoneFly Deep Dive, we explore two radically different "Hummingbirds"—one flitting through gardens, the other reshaping how we search the internet.

You’ll learn:

  • Why native plants are the gold standard for supporting hummingbirds
  • The surprising risks of poorly maintained feeders (including deadly infections)
