The Secret Pollinators
The Secret Pollinators is a native bee and pollinator podcast hosted by Kelly Parks, exploring bumblebees, mason bees, solitary bees, pollinator gardens, food crops, and conservation.
Native pollinators are responsible for 1 in 3 bites of food we eat, but they are disappearing because nobody knows about them.
Secret Pollinators changes that - one tiny hero at a time.
Secret Pollinator Podcast reveals the secret world of native bees, butterflies, and other tiny heroes that actually do most of the heavy lifting in American gardens and ecosystems.
