Bring Back the Pollinators

Lisa Massie; Recorded September 14, 2023 - Bees and other pollinators are essential parts of all ecosystems on earth and are fundamental for the long-term survival of flowering plants; the role they play in Maine's environment is one of the many topics explored in CODE RED: Climate, Justice, and Natural History Collections. This talk with the Xerces Society addressed the concerns of native pollinators and the possible impacts on society without them. We discussed food production, native bee conservation, creating habitats, and no-cost ways to make positive impacts around your home.
