Ep 135 - Can We Make Bees Pesticide-Proof? The Science That Could Change Pollinator Protection

What if protecting pollinators isn’t only about reducing pesticides, but helping bees survive the exposure already happening? In this episode, I’m joined by science journalist Gary W. Hartley to explore emerging research into a “bee detox”—nature-inspired microparticles designed to bind pesticides inside a bee’s gut. We look beyond the exciting early results to what it would actually take for this science to work in real hives, real fields, and a changing agricultural landscape. We also zoom ...
