The State of the Bees
Last night, our Pollen fellow, Taylor, attended the State of the Bees talk at the Walker Art Center. The talk was led by honey bee expert and U of M professor, Dr. Marla Spivak. Spivak also runs the U of M Bee Squad with a team of graduate students. She gave a brilliant talk about the role of bees in agriculture, the threats they are facing, and what we can do to help them. The event was organized by Nina Hale Inc. and Pollen was a promotional sponsor.
In the above photo, you can clearly see Taylor's reflection.
Dr. Spivak knows a thing or two about bees. She and her team are one the reasons why Minnesota is at the forefront of bee research, pesticide regulation, and the growth of diverse bee populations.
Look at all of those different types of nectars! Bees need flower diversity to make a healthy hive.
The Bee Lab is like the Justice League but for bees. They are doing incredible research and also partnering with local organizations and institutions to install hives. Fun fact: bee drones are all female.
Look at all of the wonderful bee nerds. Overheard in the crowd: bee keepers wear white because bees associate dark objects with attacking bears. How about that?
We've got another jingle!
