[Pollinator] New video on the benefits of planting flowers for bees

[Emily May]

How can we help bees and ensure that farmers continue to get consistent,
reliable pollination? A new video (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyGaMD5BFMU) produced by the Integrated
Crop Pollination Project
<http://www.projecticp.org/>(www.projecticp.org) reviews
recent research on one solution: adding wildflowers to field edges.
Planting flowers, especially before and after crops bloom, is a key way in
which farmers can ensure their crop pollinators stay healthy through the
season and produce abundant offspring for the next year.

This research is supported by the USDA-NIFA Specialty Crop Research
Initiative Coordinated Agricultural Project (Award #2012-51181-20105). The
video was produced on behalf of the Integrated Crop Pollination Project by
Emily May and Katharina Ullmann (The Xerces Society for Invertebrate
Conservation <http://www.xerces.org/>).

Enjoy!
