Where Have All the Bees Gone?Most of the world’s plants, including its crops, rely on bee pollination. But worldwide honeybee populations are declining due to disease, land development, and pesticide use. Ecologist Rachael Winfree weighs what it all might mean for native ecosystems and food production. 
Rachael Winfree, Assistant Professor, Entomology, School of Environmental and Biological Sciences Professor Winfree studies how global change affects bees and the way they pollinate. She is the author of several published papers on the conservation of native pollinators and on crop pollination by wild species. Her research on pollination across various types of landscapes is funded by the National Science Foundation. She is also working with the Natural Resources Conservation Service of New Jersey to restore pollinator habitat on farmland. Her work has been featured in Audubon magazine and on New Jersey Public Television. Register Now
