Sinopsis
PolliNation is a podcast from Oregon State University Extension Service that tells the stories of researchers, land managers and concerned citizens who are making bold strides to improve the health of pollinators.
Episodios
-
219 - Labuschagne - Living through a Varroapocolypse
22/08/2022 Duración: 34minThe Canadian prairie region is home to the bulk of that country’s colonies. Last year it suffered crippling losses to varroa mites. In this episode we see what we can learn from these periodic heavy varroa infestation years.
-
218 - Casey Holland - What the heck does IPM mean (in New Mexico)?
14/08/2022 Duración: 25minIntegrated pest management (IPM) is a key dimension of pollinator protection. This week we head to Chispas Farm in Albuquerque, New Mexico on how they use an integrated method to protect their plants from pests and encourage pollinators.
-
217 - O'Shea-Wheller - Are varroa resistant bees ready for primetime with the POL line?
08/08/2022 Duración: 28minVarroa resistant bees have been on the horizon for over a decade. This week we learned how close these lines are to being used commercially through a recent study of the POL line.
-
216 - Yang and Henle - Machines learning to classify insecticides as toxic to bees
31/07/2022 Duración: 21minA new study uses machine learning to classify whether a pesticide is toxic to bees or not.
-
215 - Mahood - Drone congregation areas
19/06/2022 Duración: 21minCentral to honey bee mating are drone congregation areas (DCAs). In this episode we learn how to locate DCAs using unmanned aerial devises (aka, drones).
-
214 - Paul - Mason Bees in (an unusually) Cool Wet Spring
13/06/2022 Duración: 28minIt’s been a cold and wet spring across the Pacific Northwest region. In this episode we learn about what impacts it may have had on cocoon production and what you can do to ensure you maintain bee productivity across a range of spring conditions.
-
213 - Whitford and Feken - The complex life of the honey bee
06/06/2022 Duración: 58minHoney bees have complex societies, which makes their response to environmental stressors difficult to understand. Consequently, the ways in which pesticide risk is assessed for bees can be complicated, nuanced and overwhelming. In this episode we cut through the tangle of all this complexity through a new extension publication.
-
212 - Clay Bolt - Grassland Pollinators
29/05/2022 Duración: 33minGrasslands are often overlooked in terms of pollinator habitat. But they are key to many of the bee and butterfly species in the U.S. In this episode we hear about programs from the World Wildlife Foundation Fund to preserve grassland habitat in Montana.
-
211 - Morfin - New Tech Transfer Program in BC
13/05/2022 Duración: 31minBritish Columbia beekeepers have made a major investment in preparing for the future in launching a tech transfer program. Hear about this program and the challenges it hopes to address for beekeepers in BC.
-
210 - Coffan - What’s going on with Western Monarchs
02/05/2022 Duración: 48minThe Western monarch butterfly population appears to have recovered from a tremendously low number of butterflies returning to overwintering grounds a few years ago. In this episode we try to understand what still remains unknown about this remarkable migrating butterfly species.
-
209 - Burgett - Working together in the PNW
03/04/2022 Duración: 36minThere has been a long tradition of people working together to help bees across state and provincial boundaries in the Pacific Northwest region. In this episode we discover where this cooperative approach came from.
-
208 - Merissa Moeller - Endangered Species Act 101
14/03/2022 Duración: 41minThe federal Endangered Species Act is almost 50 years old and it has been a key mechanism for assisting the recovery of many insect pollinators and plant species they depend on. In this episode we get a crash course on how the Act works.
-
207 - Andony Melathopoulos - How did I get into bees?
06/03/2022 Duración: 43minThis week the tables get turned on the host of PolliNation as guest host Miranda Jones asks how did Andony get into bees in the first place.
-
206 - Ellen Topitzhofer - The Holy Grail: Banking Queens Over the Winter
01/03/2022 Duración: 46minThe holy grail of beekeeping is taking mated queens from the summer and banking them so that they are available the following spring, at a time when queen supply is tight. This week we hear about work underway to figure out how to bank queens through the winter in Oregon.
-
205 - George Kaufman - What the heck does IPM mean (in blueberries)?
16/02/2022 Duración: 26minCreating habitat for beneficial insects is a key part of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). In this episode we hear how an Oregon blueberry farm has gone large scale in creating pollinator hedgerows.
-
204 - Josée Rousseau - Birds and the bees: How bird data can inform us on where insect pollinators live
30/01/2022 Duración: 38minThe data we have on the natural history of birds, as well as their ranges, is far richer than for insect pollinators. This week we learned about an innovative approach to use bird data to inform what we know about insect pollinator populations.
-
203 - Dana Church - How humans changed the world of bumble bees
26/01/2022 Duración: 38minWhen people think about beekeeping, their minds turn to honey bees. But humans have influenced the course of natural history for other bees as well. This week we hear about a wonderful new book that considers the ways humanity has shaped the fate of bumble bees.
-
202 - Moyer - Getting Bees Out of the Walls
16/01/2022 Duración: 18minSometimes bees will swarm into structures. Getting them out of the structures is not as easy as some on YouTube make it seem. This week we hear about how one bee club has figured out how to easily remove bees from tricky places.
-
201 - Nico Ardans - What the heck does IPM mean (in nurseries)?
31/12/2021 Duración: 31minThis week we start a new series looking into what integrated pest management (IPM), not as a conceptual framework, but on the ground, where pollinators are scooting around and living their lives. This week we head to a commercial nursery.
