My first experience with diesel pools was with a dip into the SWAP.HIVE:DEC pool in late October 2021. About 3 weeks later I moved out of the SWAP.HIVE:DEC pool into the SWAP.HIVE:PIZZA pool, and I made a few additions since then. While it's been a good 2 months for me, I thought it was time to move into a different diesel pool. Today I removed my share out the SWAP.HIVE:PIZZA pool and added equivalent amounts into the SWAP.HIVE:PLN pool.

What Is PLN?
At one month, PLN is a relatively new token for something called the Pollen Loop Network. Below is a screen capture of PLN's info widget as shown by Tribaldex, followed by a text representation of the screen capture:

| Description | PLN - Pollen Loop Network - Central token of the Aggregated Hybrid DeFi Gaming Agent: Nectar Queen. Add PLN to the liquidity pool to earn a share of Nectar Queen's daily reward distributions. |
| Precision | 8 |
| Staking | No |
| Delegation | No |
Nectar-Queen is an Aggregated Hybrid DeFi Gaming Agent, and PLN is Nectar-Queen's token.
If you're a gamer into DeFi, or an investor into gaming, PLN is worth a look. I'm a novice trader and investor, and I know enough to realize that Play-to-Earn is a booming sector within cryptocurrency. So what does the SWAP.HIVE:PLN pool have to offer liquidity providers?
The Rewards Offered by the SWAP.HIVE:PLN Pool
| 22 TOKENS!! |

After switching from the SWAP.HIVE:PIZZA pool to the SWAP.HIVE:PLN pool, this is where I stand:
Status Quo
I still earn rewards of SWAP.HIVE, SIM, and STARBITS.
Losses
I lost rewards for PIZZA, ALIVE, UTOPIS, LEO, APE, CTP, and WINE.
Gains
Losing UTOPIS (and LEO) hurt, but I gained an array of gaming tokens, bee-themed tokens, and even HIVE (indirectly):
Gaming Tokens
- SPS, DEC, and VOUCHER for Splinterlands; also SPT for the blog;
- SIM and ENTRY for dCity-- see "Special Mention" below;
- CROP for dCrops-- see "Special Mention" below;
- STARBITS for Rising Star;
- GAMER for the gambling games;
- ONEUP, SWAP.STATE, and BATTLE for the newer tokens;
Bee-Themed Tokens
- PLN for Pollen Loop Network;
- SWAP.HIVE -- without HIVE, we wouldn't be here;
- BEE for Hive Engine Token;
- NECTAR for Nectar Queens Gold ;
- STINGER for Nectar Queens Secret Weapon ;
- BXT for Beeswap Token ;
- AMBROSIA for Nectar Queens Treasure ;
- QUEEN for Queen System Power ;
- FLOWER because "bees like flowers" (yes, that's the token name);
Special Mention
SIM and CROP tokens deserve a special mention for one reason: Owning a certain amount of SIM or CROP (or both) qualifies one to receive daily drips of liquid HIVE. At the time I bought SIM I had no idea of this special feature, so I aped into some free liquid HIVE.
During the 14 January 2022 edition of Daily Crypto Markets Live Blog, 
The Reason I Switched Diesel Pools
That's 2 ways to earn HIVE daily. As much as I enjoyed the rewards from the other pool, it didn't offer me that ability. This alone was enough reason for me to make the switch. The fact that over 20 tokens are part of the reward pool is bonus.
Future Plans
For now, I can only participate in 1 diesel pool. As I build my portfolio on Hive Engine I may be able to participate in a 2nd pool, and at that point I'll re-enter the SWAP.HIVE:PIZZA diesel pool.

| Sometimes I discover posts way after the initial earnings period. It's too late for me to upvote posts then, so to make up for the lost upvote I send a slice of PIZZA instead. My main focus is cryptocurrencies from a number of angles (educational, commentary, observations, even pop culture). A secondary focus is sharing my discoveries about the world of Hive Social.
