Led by moderator and backyard beekeeper Steve Hobbs, the panel discussion will explore the impact bees and other pollinators have on our lives, the role they play in maintaining our food supply, and how current agricultural practices affect their jobs as pollinators. Panelists Tom Harned, commercial beekeeper and owner of Five Bee Hives; Ross Winton, Regional Wildlife Biologist with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game; and Sara Berman, farmer and owner of Squash Blossom Farm will contribute their unique perspectives to what promises to be a fascinating conversation.

Part of The Center’s BIG IDEA project Bees, April 13- June 22, 2018.
