A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach - June 2, 2014 - Bumblebee Expert Leif Richardson

I CAN IDENTIFY A LOT OF PLANTS, and I’m pretty good with my local bird and frog species, but now a landmark book has me putting down my trowel every time someone buzzes by and having a careful look at bees–especially bumblebees. The book is “Bumble Bees of North America: An Identification Guide,” and one of its four esteemed co-authors, Leif Richardson, joined me for a bumblebee 101 on the radio. Get a closer look at bees, and maybe win the book, too.
