The Ohio Statehouse is now buzzing with more than jus political intrigue. A new beehive was added to the Capitol Square on Earth Day. We discuss the new residents of the Statehouse and look at the role of bees in our ecosystem.
A healthy bee population is crucial to the wellbeing of plants and humans. Colony collapse syndrome is putting our food supply at risk, and we discuss the possible causes and hopes for a solution.
Guests
