Bees 101

Looking for a podcast this weekend? Check out this recent conversation I had with our local NPR station about bee basics, including: the wide variety of bees in North America, bee stings (noun and verb), the importance of bees to our food system, how to make space for bees in our yards and gardens, and how to recognize when something is not a bee (like a wasp or fly).

A couple corrections to note: In a brief comment, I mixed up the nesting habits of Diadasia with Agapostemon virescens. And I'm not a farmer (worked on farms, written about farms, not actually worthy of the title).
