The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio

Are bees making a comeback?


Listen Later

You may have heard that the bee population is under threat in recent years. Bees are critical for our environment and food production - a dwindling population could affect our ability to grow fruits and vegetables. But The Washington Post recently reported that America’s honeybee population is at an all-time high. So, what’s going on with the bees? Should we be worried? Vincent Aloyo is the master beekeeper and an adjunct professor at Delaware Valley University, where he teaches beekeeping. He joins us to talk about why we need bees, why their numbers did decrease, and what we can do to keep the bee population on track.

  • Homegrown National Park, founded by University of Delaware Professor Doug Tallamy
