[Pollinator] pollination in Thailand

[David Inouye]

I gave the keynote talk this morning about "Challenges facing 
pollinators and pollination as an ecosystem service", at the 
International Conference on Sustainable Agriculture and Bioeconomy, in 
Bangkok. At least some of the audience hadn't thought much before about 
the role of pollinators in all the wonderful fruits and vegetables that 
were also displayed in the exhibit hall. There have been two paper 
sessions about pollination, and I got to hear about some interesting 
Thai research and meet a few of the pollination researchers and their 
students.

In the photo I'm talking to Thailand's Royal Highness Princess Maha 
Chakri Sirindhorn, who presided at the opening ceremony and then came to 
see some the exhibits.

That's a 'rice palace' in back, made of stalks of rice, in the exhibit 
hall.
