Utah is ‘the Beehive State’, but not because it’s the best place for bees. In fact, like much of the west there is less and less water to support the plants bees must have, and the acreage of drought-stricken lands is increasing. What if drought tolerant plants- which need no irrigation- could help rehabilitate those lands and establish bee pasture for honey bees and native bees? That dream solution has inspired Project Apis m. to fund two research projects in Utah- both featured in this short film.
Follow along with scientists from the USDA Pollinating Insect-Biology, Management, Systematics Research Unit in Logan, Utah as they take you into the field and through the lab, explaining the science and solutions along the way.
Special thanks the Wonderstone films for producing this video.
