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
-
199 - Kayla Perry - What drives bumble bee community composition?
27/11/2021 Duración: 36minThe type of insect pollinators you find within a region can vary depending on broad categories of land use. This week we learn about the potential mechanisms that drive this variation, focusing on bumble bees.
-
198 - James Tracy - Monarch collisions on roadways
22/11/2021 Duración: 10minMonarch butterflies have been experiencing declines in North America. In this week’s episode we hear about the significance of monarch butterfly collisions on interstates and an innovative method to reduce this source of butterfly mortality.
-
197 - Laura Johnson - Bee Health in Vermont
08/11/2021 Duración: 29minThis week we head to Vermont to hear about the brand new pollinator health position.
-
196 - Bob Walters - Bee Check
24/10/2021 Duración: 30minA key principle of state Managed Pollinator Protection plans is to increase communication between beekeepers and pesticide applicators during crop pollination. In this episode, we hear about an initiative to map bee colonies to help applicators find bee colonies in the landscape to help facilitate beekeeper-applicator communication.
-
195 - Maddie Carpenter - What is the North American honey bee?
17/10/2021 Duración: 44minHoney bees are not native to North America, but they have been here for hundreds of years. In this episode we dive into the deep history of honey bee importations to North America and learn how molecular technologies can provide insight into the subspecies character of contemporary North American honey bee populations.
-
194 - Joe Maresh - Oregon State Beekeepers Association Conference
04/10/2021 Duración: 50minIt’s the 100th anniversary of the Oregon State Beekeepers Association and to celebrate beekeepers are holding a hybrid conference (in person and online). This week we hear about some of the highlights of the conference and what to look forward to.
-
193 - Laurie Adams and Josette Lewis - California Pollinator Coalition
29/09/2021 Duración: 35minThis week we hear about an ambitious new initiative in California to increase the adoption of pollinator-friendly practices on working lands.
-
192 - Lisa DeVetter - Blueberry Pollination Planner
20/09/2021 Duración: 24minThe blueberry industry is one of the most dynamic fruit sectors in the US. As a consequence, what was recommended for pollination a few decades ago may no longer apply. This week we hear about a new initiative to develop a modern pollination planner for US blueberry growers.
-
191 - Jen Hayes - Natives v nativars for pollinators
14/09/2021 Duración: 31minThere has been an explosion of interest in using native plants for pollinators. Along with this interest there is the question of whether nativars - a natural variant that has been found in the wild and brought into cultivation - are equally beneficial to pollinators. This week we look into an ongoing research project asking this very question.
-
190 - Maxime Eeraerts - Sweet cherry pollination
30/08/2021 Duración: 45minBees are key pollinators of sweet cherry. This week we hear about research from Belgium on using other managed bee species to pollinate this crop (other than honey bees), the influence of encouraging pollinator habitat, as well as tips on keeping managed mason bees healthy and happy during cherry pollination.

189 - Spencer Leonard - Fable of the Bees (Part 2)
25/08/2021 Duración: 01h03minOne of the most influential books about bees has little to do with bees, but rather reflects on the nature of modern society. Bernard Mandeville (1670-1733) wrote and revised his “Fable of the Bees”, after publishing a poem in 1705 titled “The Grumbling Hive: or, Knaves Turn'd Honest”. The book is considered one the first pieces of modern sociology and was influential for revolutionaries lat

188 - Spencer Leonard - Fable of the Bees (Part 1)
16/08/2021 Duración: 50minOne of the most influential books about bees has little to do with bees, but rather reflects on the nature of modern society. Bernard Mandeville (1670-1733) wrote and revised his “Fable of the Bees”, after publishing a poem in 1705 titled “The Grumbling Hive: or, Knaves Turn'd Honest”. The book is considered one the first pieces of modern sociology and was influential for revolutionaries later in the 18th Century. We discuss the book as part of a two-part series.
-
187 - Mace Vaughn - Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Pollinators
02/08/2021 Duración: 59minNatural Resources Conservation Service has a range of programs to support the development of pollinator habitat in working lands. In this episode you’ll get an overview of NRCS programs, how landowners can access them and how, specifically, they can be used to improve habitat for pollinators.
-
186 - Dean Herzfeld - Where do pesticide applicators get their training?
26/07/2021 Duración: 20minPesticide applicators across the US needed to become certified and trained. In this episode we explore where this training requirement came from and how it applies to reducing exposure of pollinators to pesticides.
-
185 - Kathleen Law - Keeping Bees Safe During Blueberries
13/07/2021 Duración: 23minHighbush blueberry is the largest pollinated crop in Oregon and one of the top crops in the US as a whole. Beekeepers report that their colonies can sometimes experience difficulties when pollinating this crop. In this episode we hear about how to keep bees healthy in blueberry production systems.
