They help power sustainable agriculture, biodiversity, and healthy landscapes. On The Bee’s Knees, we invite you into their world — a place full of wonder, surprises, and quiet brilliance — and share simple, meaningful ways you can support the real busy bees of our planet.

Our conversation covers significant findings from his recent study, the importance of maintaining biodiversity, and practical steps for conservation efforts.
