Okay, so you may not enjoy the company of bees, but they’re vital for plant reproduction and biodiversity. Without bees and other pollinating species, a significant portion of our global food supply would be in jeopardy. On the latest episode of Your Region Pod we take a look at the top three pollinators in Waterloo Region (you may be surprised!), what our community partners are doing to help them get where they need to go, and how you can as well.

Vicki Wojcik, the Executive Director for Pollinator Partnership Canada joins us to help us identify who these pollinators are. Spoiler: It's not just bees.

Dr. Jennifer Leat from Waterloo Region Nature talks about the pollinator roadside program.

Brydon Rayner, the Region's expert on forestry and horticulture shares his insights on ideal habitats for pollinators.
