Welcome to Season 6 of Beekeeping Today Podcast! When we launched this podcast on the first day of Pollinator Week in 2018, we had no idea where the podcast would go, or how long it would continue. It is fun to see that we are still going strong and growing– thanks to you, our listeners. So, this is not a celebration of BTP as much as it is a celebration of you and your support!
Thank you!
If it is the start of a new BTP season, then it must also mean that it is the kickoff of Pollinator Week! On today’s episode, we welcome Kelly Bills, the Executive Director of Pollinator Partnership back to the podcast to talk to us about the planned activities for the week. Pollinator Partnership’s (P2) mission is to promote the health of pollinators, critical to food and ecosystems, through conservation, education and research.
Listen today to find out how you too can celebrate pollinators no matter where you live across the country or around the world through virtual and in-person gatherings, webinars, planting sessions, garden and farm walks, and monument lightings.
We hope you enjoy the episode. Leave comments and questions in the Comments Section of the episode's website.
