Pollinators & Climate Change Considerations — Replay & Resources

Thank you so much to Athena Contus of Athena's Bees for her wonderful talk about bees and pollinators in a changing climate and things we can do to promote healthy pollinator populations.

Spend some time with these websites and videos and you will learn a lot about how to support the insects and ecosystems that make our lives possible.
