Get In My Garden

Today we meet Elizabeth Lake, a long-time supporter of the podcast and local beekeeper and pollinator activist. She talks about her adventures in beekeeping, her local activism and building a community around her interests. Then she gives a breakdown of different types of bees and her learnings about native bees who are most hard to observer and research. Elizabeth share about the impact of honeybees on native bee habitat and the debates going on about this, the relationship of bees to specific plants, a description of the very different types of bees and why what affects honeybees doesn’t necessary relate to other bees, the current state of research into native bees and her honest review of the recent ‘the pollinators’ feature film. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/get-in-my-garden-podcast/message
