Tianna Dupont talks to Katharina Ullmann, California Pollinator Conservation Coordinator from the Xerces Invertebrate Conservation Society about the importance of native bees. The European honey bee is the most important single crop pollinator in the United States. However, the mysterious colony collapse as well as diseases, parasitic mites, and Africanized bees disorder are an increasing problem in honey bee hives and worrying farmers who depend on them. Many scientists and farmers believe we may need to pay more attention to native bees as honey bees decline. Katharina will explain the importance of native bees and how we can create habitats to encourage more beneficial bees.
