Show Notes
In this episode we focus on the role of honeybees, particularly the unique Cape honeybee, in sustaining South Africa’s agriculture and ecosystems.
Host Dawn Noemdoe leads a conversation with two honeybee experts: Chris Nicklan, chairperson of the Western Cape Bee Industry Association, and Mike Allsopp, Senior Researcher at the Agricultural Research Council.
They discuss the alarming global decline in bee populations and its implications for farmers, food security, and the environment.
