Brigit Strawbridge Howard is a bee advocate, speaker, wildlife gardener, and author of the new book, Dancing with Bees, a charming and eloquent account of rediscovering and reconnecting with the natural world.

In this podcast episode, Brigit sheds light on all of the different and unique species of wild bees out there besides the honeybee; how we've exploited honeybees as monocultures in order to uphold our industrialized, monocultural food systems; why we need to go beyond single-species conservation efforts for a more holistic approach; and more.
