“Save the Bees!” has everyone abuzz about honey bees these days, but did you know honey bees don't need saving? In this talk, Biology PhD student Nick Dorian explains why it's the native bees--the more than 4000 species that live wild across North America--that desperately need our attention. He reveals the secrets lives of native bees (did you know they sleep in flowers?) and offers five easy ways everyone can help pollinators in their own backyards. Nick Dorian is an ecologist, an educator, and a naturalist. He is a PhD student in Biology at Tufts University where he studies how solitary bees-those that don’t live in hives-cope with rapidly changing environments. Nick also co-founded and runs the Tufts Pollinator Initiative, which works to conserve urban pollinators through habitat creation, community & undergraduate education, and ecological research. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
