On Creature Comforts, Kevin Farrell is joined by Dr. Troy Majure, veterinarian at the Animal Medical Center in Jackson and Libby Hartfield retired director of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science.

Here’s a riddle for you to kick off our show this morning: flying without feathers and singing without a voice, as today’s subject of Creature Comforts, I carry the weight of the world on my back while being nearly weightless myself… What am I? This essential piece of our ecosystem is of course the Honeybee! Today, Dr. Jeff Harris from the MSU Extension Service joins to tell us all about the importance of our riddling critters and how they affect our daily lives.
