The Bees' Needs

Bees and other pollinators are in decline. Canada has recently started an initiative to research the problem in the form of NSERC-CANPOLIN . This video lecture is on their home page.- from Simon Fraser University News on YouTube:

"A Plea for the Bees' Needs: Pollinator declines and how to encourage backyard biodiversity" presented by Dr. Elizabeth Elle.

Learn more about why bees are in trouble, the natural history and status of our native bees, and what you can do in your backyard, community garden or even on your balcony to help support pollinators.

This public lecture was recorded on Thursday April 23, 2009. It was organised by Continuing Studies in Science at Simon Fraser University.

Of course, frontyard diversity can be as important as backyard diversity and more on that can be found at The Home Bug Garden and Gardening Zone 3B.
