Bees as Pollinators by Karen Burrows

Considered by many to be the star pollinators, this talk will discuss what makes the honeybee a good pollinator, how the honeybee achieves large scale pollination, their limitations and the threats of the modern environment. We will conclude with a look at some of the other pollinators who lack the PR of the honey bee and how the average person can help this diverse group.
