[Pollinator] Haagen-Dazs pollinator conservation -- 6 miles of hedgerows

[Matthew Shepherd]

Haagen-Dazs have been doing great work to care for the bees on the
California almond orchard that supplies the nuts for their ice cream and
other products. The Xerces Society has been working with them to create
pollinator habitat, including planting more than 6 miles of flowering
hedgerows. Yesterday, Haagen-Dazs had a field day to celebrate this, which
was attended by a number of media outlets. Here are two reports from
Fresno-based TV news stations. It’s nice to see bees getting some positive
coverage, rather than just “pollinator crisis”-type stories.

(You have to sit through adverts before you see the news segment. I can’t
change that for you, but one of them did have a very catchy jingle. J)
