Everyone knows the honey bee, but it’s just one species… there are 20,000 others! People have relied on bees – both wild and managed species – for millennia. But as bee populations dwindle around the world, can we save them before it’s too late? This screening event will celebrate the amazing diversity and vital roles of bees.
Be among the first to see the latest Human Footprint episode before its broadcast premiere! Then, enjoy a panel discussion with Dr. Neil Losin, co-creator, co-director and lead writer of Human Footprint, and Dr. Margarita López-Uribe, Associate Professor of Entomology at Penn State.
