sample of bee fodder project

One of Kenya’s most experienced ethno-botanists, Anne Powys, has been helping us to identify all the natural plants in our study area, highlighting which plant species are important bee fodder, particularly during the dry season. We have now collected and pressed hundreds of plant specimens around Sagalla which are stored in a new herbarium in the Elephants and Bees Research Center. The herbarium stores and preserves these essential plants creating a baseline reference for our pollination survey as well as a valuable asset for future studies by students and other researchers. less ↑
