Bees: A Comeback Story. This week Annie switches gears from exploring questions of animal rights to examining the movers and shakers of our ecosystem: pollinators. Bridget Mendel of the University of Minnesota Bee Squad explains the symbiotic relationship of bees with, well, everything! A creative writer, she shows us the shifts in our collective imagination of bees through history and literature, while also explaining the unique services offered through the U of M Bee Veterans program.
