[Pollinator] New Narwhal article: Native bees are an important piece of the pie. Why aren’t we protecting them?

[Victoria MacPhail]

(Apologies for cross posting). Sharing this great article in The Narwhal
that just came out yesterday about the value of our native bees and
concerns about over reliance on honeybees.  Timely as it relates to the
fall harvest of apples through pumpkins. Features quotes from ON bee
researchers and producers.

The Narwhal is a Canadian non profit investigative news/journalism
organization that focuses on environmental topics.

*Native bees are an important piece of the pie. Why aren’t we protecting
them?*

*Our food security relies on a diversity of pollinators on Canadian farms.
Honeybees get a lot of credit, but they’re pushing native species out*

And to all my Canadian colleagues, Happy Thanksgiving!
