Secret Pollinators – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Native pollinators are responsible for 1 in 3 bites of food we eat — yet most of them are disappearing because nobody knows they exist. The Secret Pollinators is the native bee podcast that changes that, one tiny hero at a time. Each episode reveals the secret world of native bees, bumblebees, wild bees, butterflies, beetles, and the other lesser-known pollinators doing the real heavy lifting in American gardens, farms, and wild landscapes. Spoiler alert: that tomato on your plate was probably pollinated by a native bee, not a honeybee. The blueberry on your morning oatmeal? Almost certainly a bumblebee. Host Kelly - a Certified Pollinator Steward and published science writer based in Montana - is on a mission to make a real difference in the lives of native pollinators through short, mind-blowing episodes about the 4,000+ species of native bees you've never heard of. Mason bees that build with mud. Leafcutter bees that scissor flower petals. Ground-nesting bees that live underground by the millions. Bumblebees so specialized they only forage from a single wildflower. Plus the butterflies, beetles, and other pollinators working overtime in your backyard. Every episode is packed with bee science, surprising natural history, and simple actions you can take to support these essential creatures — whether you live in a big-city apartment or on a sprawling farm. Warning: you might become slightly obsessed with spotting bumblebees everywhere you go. Kelly definitely is.
