What One Irish Town Taught the World About Saving Bumblebees

A small seaside town north of Dublin set out to save a vanishing ginger-colored bumblebee — and the way they did it holds a lesson for every gardener, balcony grower, and small-space planter in America. This week we travel to Skerries, Ireland, to meet the large carder bee and the community that built it a home out of wild meadows. Then we come home to discover the "secret hum" of buzz pollination — the irreplaceable trick bumblebees use to pollinate your tomatoes, peppers, and blueberries that honey bees simply can't perform. Whether you've got acres or a single windowsill, this episode shows you how to run the Skerries experiment in your own backyard.www.secretpollinators.com#SecretPollinators #BumbleBees #BuzzPollination #NativeBees #PollinatorMonth #LargeCarderBee #SaveTheBees #PollinatorGarden #BalconyGarden #ContainerGardening #GrowYourOwn #Tomatoes #WildflowerMeadow #PollinatorCorridor #CitizenScience #BumbleBeeAtlas #LetItGrowWild #GardenTok #NativePlants #Sonication #Ireland #IrishBees #Skerries #Dublin #Irish #Flowers #Carderbees #Gingerbee #Wildbees #BuzzPollination
