This week I interviewed fellow science communicator Rachael about her work with bees and how she got interested in social insects and their diets. Considering how important bees are to keeping pollinating plants (like all your favorite fruit) growing, we got really excited about her research on bee nutrition and it's implications.
Let me know what you think of the show!
