[Pollinator] Fox News video on crop pollinating bees

[Matthew Shepherd]

Here's a short video about bees and crop pollination from Fox News. This is
the raw video before it reaches Fox affiliates, so lacks an introduction or
captions.

http://video.foxnews.com/v/2402218038001/

 


Everyone in the video is involved with Project ICP, a USDA-funded program
that is doing research and outreach on integrated crop pollination, i.e.,
understanding the performance, economics, and farmer perceptions of
different pollination strategies and providing information on how to best
manage pollinators in various fruit and vegetable crops. The project is led
by Rufus Isaacs of Michigan State University. You can find more information
about Project ICP at http://www.icpbees.org/ or follow them on Facebook at
https://www.facebook.com/IntegratedCropPollinationProject. 


 

In order of appearance, the people in the video are: 
SCOTT HOFFMAN BLACK, Xerces executive director; 
SAMMY MOORE, blueberry and cranberry grower; 
RACHAEL WINFREE, Assistant Professor, Department of Ecology, Evolution and
Natural Resources, Rutgers University; and 
FAYE BENJAMIN, PhD candidate, Rutgers University, thesis focused on
blueberry pollination.
