It’s not news that the food we eat should be nutritious, but are the floral resources we provide to bees actually what they need?  We explore the intricate world of bee nutrition with our guest Dr. Sarah Leonhardt. We chat about the importance of pollen and nectar, the challenges in analyzing pollen chemistry, the impact of climate change on flower quality, and the need to deepen our understanding of bee nutrition amidst environmental changes. It’s a conversation on the critical role of nutrition in sustaining bee populations.
