Скачать или смотреть Plant It and They Will Come: Supporting California's 1,600 Native Bees

National Geographic Explorer Krystle Hickman leads a captivating talk on California’s native bee species and the plants they thrive on. California hosts over 1,600 native bee species, making it one of the world's most biodiverse regions. But native bees—as distinct from honey bees—risk extinction from climate change and habitat loss. In her new book, The ABCs of California’s Native Bees, Hickman describes twenty-six bee species—from the Agile Longhorn Bee to the Zone-tailed Banded-Mining Bee—through stunning photography and expert insights on identification, habitats, and conservation.

Hickman's presentation is followed by a conversation with Michelle Fullner, host of the popular Golden State Naturalist podcast.
