Brandon City HallJuly Noon Lecture: All About the Birds and the Bees
Dr. Harris offers an autobiographical talk about reconciling a lifelong affection for honey bees with a deep commitment to native wildlife, especially birds and indigenous pollinators. He reflects on how honey bees, while vital to agriculture and the pollination of many wild plants, are not native to North America and can out-compete native pollinators. Their estimated $20 billion yearly economic value in the United States often overshadows ecological concerns. As both an avid beekeeper and a passionate birder, he long felt caught between communities and kept his interests separate. Over time he came to see that honey bees and native pollinators can coexist, each supporting wider ecosystems and even the survival of songbirds. The presentation traces this shift in perspective and highlights the intricate interdependence of species within food webs grounded in native pollinator communities.
