Pollinators play a vital role in our food systems and are crucial to preserving the areas across the world being threatened by climate change and industrialization, but it takes more than just planting flowers to protect our pollinators.

In this episode, Dr. Michelle Fearon will walk us through the basics of pollination and pollinator health, former U-M Horticulture Supervisor Bill Kronberg will explain how the University is engaging in pollinator health through its new Bee Campus USA certification, and Matthaei Botanical Garden’s Natural Areas Specialist Steven Parrish will speak on what you can do in your very own backyard. Join host Lindsay Gooch as she speaks with these industry professionals to uncover and understand the complex and incredibly interesting world of pollinator health.
