Embry: Bee-ware

by Chris Tachibana | Feb 2, 2018

-1Did you know that native bees pollinate tomatoes but honey bees can’t?

Pre-order Our Native Bees: North America’s Endangered Pollinators and the Fight to Save Them (Timber Press) from Paige’s website and meet her in person at her book readings and events.
