Pesticides and Pollinators, Drift and Honeybees, and Farming for Pollinators - Video Series
Funded by Ceres Trust and the Kansas Rural Center (KRC), Sticky Wicket Media produced three videos aimed at increasing awareness about the harms of pesticides to pollinators, the impacts of drift on honeybees and beekeepers, and a farming method that is beneficial to pollinators (and a whole lot more!).
Kansas beekeeper, Chad Gilliland, lost a significant number of his honeybees to pesticide drift. He shares his story and offers thoughts on minimizing drift.
Gail Fuller and Lynnette Miller farm using regenerative agriculture practices, which are highly beneficial to pollinators and a whole lot more. Fuller and Miller discuss how regenerative agriculture has the potential to improve soil health, increase diversity, prevent erosion, produce nutrient-dense foods, improve human health, and build communities.
Pollinator populations are in decline worldwide and pesticides are a key contributor to the decline. While agriculture has played an enormous role in pollinator decline, it can also play an enormous role in reversing it.
