Hello All,
Just wanted to share two things if you haven't seen already. The first is the documentary "Pollinators" which I caught on YouTube when it came up on my feed. My YouTube algorithm consists mainly of beekeeping and Liverpool FC transfer news (IYKYK), lol. Full circle insight into commercial operators and the good, sometimes not so good relationship with growers! Also, good summation of regenerative farming practices as it relates to protecting pollinators.

Spoiler alert! OSU's own Ellen Topitzhofer has a cameo around minute 19!
The second item is an article recently published in the Guardian US, spelling out potential causes for massive honey bee losses in the commercial arena. Two things we sort of know from COBKA and OSU, but I'll let you read the article:
