Pollinators: The Birds and The Bees

Join Dr. Rose and Ron this week as we discuss the importance of pollinators to biodiversity and the world economy. We discuss how flowers and pollinator tongues coevolve and how some flowers have adapted to large pollinators like bats. Finally, we chat about recent research on sustainable farming practices to promote pollinator health! Science streams on Twitch- See Dr. Rose as Guest https://www.twitch.tv/sciencestreams
