Mike welcomes Dr. May R. Berenbaum, entomologist from the University of Illinois; Jeffrey S. Pettis of the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Beltsville, Maryland; and beekeeper Zac Browning of Browning Honey Co. Inc., with 20,000 hives in North Dakota, Idaho and California. These experts discuss the factors behind bee loss in the United States and elsewhere, particularly in the past seven years, and how the rampant use of agricultural and horticultural chemicals are playing a role in bee decline.
