S2:E9 Finally Answers to the Question "Are The Bees Dying?"

You've heard this question a lot in the last few years. What's killing the bees? Why are they dying? How bad is this?
Well, while many articles share this headline, few actually explain it.

For starters, do you even know there is a difference between Wild & Domestic bees? Or that the classic honey bee we are all so familiar with is not native to the US?

In this episode we sit down with Matias Viel, co-founder of Bee Flow, a technology company creating a new paradigm in pollination services that is showing Growers how much they benefit by putting bees first, and Mike Briano from Harris Woolf Almonds, a crop that relies on bees more than any other.

In this episode, you'll learn about:

  • The difference between farmed and wild pollinators
  • Why over reliance on farmed pollinators poses environmental challenges
  • How we need more growers to start measuring pollination
  • Why it has been challenging for growers to rely on wild pollinators
  • What the future of pollination services might look like
