We can save the bees together: Sarah Red-Laird at TEDxBend

[@RichardCsuk]

Sarah is fantastic and if you ever get a chance to meet her in person do so. Her love of bees is infectious.

[@stellacruz4675]

She's on stage to do just that, Talk!!!! Excellent communicator!!!!

[@troy9795]

Save the bees we need those little guys!!!

[@romney-annespeers3064]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!! Her passion is so contagious.. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the public!!

[@GreatWarIsland]

I just bought online like 200 different flower seeds and I will plant them at my Company's garden. HELP BEES!

[@1stBumbleBeeMaster]

Hey thats so cool! Good luck with that.

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

If you reallllllly want to massively help, plant trees that the bees like. A single tree, depending, can equal over an acre of flowers...just a single tree.

[@choda42]

"Save the Bees" is impacting the native pollinator populations. The impact humans are having on the planet is the key to all of the issues we are having. Habitat loss due to urban sprawl, agriculture, industry, and pollution.

[@julieenslow5915]

a little history: Lady Bird Johnson had native wild flowers planted in the interstates of (I don't know how many states but I think all of them) as a beautification project. Today, that same program would go a long way to restore habitat for honey bees. write your congressional representatives! Plant flowers in cities! Plant them everywhere!

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

Hey Lady...Lady Bird Johnson has succeeded here in Texas, there are flowers ALLLLLLLL along the highways of Texas. I mean, ALL ALONG, YO!

[@julieenslow5915]

@@cluelessbeekeeping1322 Well the Johnsons were from Texas, she probably was too - so that makes sense!

[@heidiahruska]

Awsome job Sarah! Way to make a difference girl! Keep up the great work :-D

[@stellacruz4675]

Wonderful buzz!

I'll be looking forward to hearing you speak at the Washington State Beekeepers Assn. Winter Education Seminar in Cheney,WA on Feb 9th 2019 !!!!

If bees die, all of us die. What Can we do?

[@CEDStoneGroup]

Very important message..

[@lindajo2647]

How do we vote with our fork to help bees? Do we buy honey? Buy specific foods more than others? Buy from specific farms that promote bee friendly practices? Buy local? All of the above?

You are inspiring!

[@vinkosindelar7990]

Awesome! Go Sarah!

[@VictorFursov]

Thanks for Video! Greetings from Ukraine! Best wishes in happy and lucky beekeeping! :)

[@ninasokolov6861]

Not a single native plant in the US requires a honeybee to pollinate it. They are not native here, and the wildflower prairies she spoke of are food for native bees. Native bees are facing the same challenges as honeybees, but without any keepers to assist them. To combine all bee issues into just honeybee decline is not the right move to 'save the bees'.

[@CarolJWright]

Obama just formed committee of some sort to address the issue of saving the bees.

[@SandyRowley]

Yes, and to ban the use of bee killing NEONICS that are usually on all garden shop plants. These neonics last up to 4 years on the plant, killing all pollinators.

[@johnbryant162]

Nice video. Great message.

[@VictorFursov]

Thank you for interesting and funny video. Best wishes and good luck! If you have some bees or inesccts pests in your garden, you can show it to me too.

[@chutiagiri]

Ha! I came all hopeful to this link. Only to hear her jabber away.

[@agodinruins]

did she just quote someone named Michael Pollen?

[@SHansen82]

Yea, Michael Pollan. A huge advocate for healthy, sustainable, farming and food production practices

[@agodinruins]

StuDaddy82 what an awesome name

[@Octopusmaster]

I prefer to go shirtless in my hives. Using a veil and gloves is annoying and going shittless means they don’t get caught under my clothes. As long as you can vibe with them they are super easy to deal with.

[@ImprovingAbility]

the bee keepers could make a difference by 1. not stealing 100% of the honey and 2. not replacing the stolen honey with 100% high fructose corn sirup. The people could make a difference by not buying honey. There's no benefit in honey over table sugar.

[@burgessbc]

So much false information in so short a comment.

[@chrisnerf3973]

Raw honey (and yes one can purchase it in the supermarket) contains many things that improve one's health. I believe what you are talking about is the adulterated, pasturized product that has NO health benefit. Pasteurized honey, does not have the same enzymes and health benefits of unpasteurized honey. Check it for yourself...raw honey vs pasturized honey.

[@teresatodd5832]

Feldenkrais with Alfons I'm with u on 1 &2 but ur 3rd statement is off the wall table sugar is called white death for a reason honey has so many beneduts to a healthy diet why would u ever consider any other sweetener?

[@taylorguilford2729]

I am a backyard beekeeper. 1. If I take 100% of the honey out of my hives, my bees will starve to death. Beekeepers leave 60 to 80 pounds of honey on each hive. 2. Yes, there is honey with substitutes in them, however, this is not cool. By buying straight from a local beekeeper, you know you are getting the real thing. 3. There are many benefits is honey over sugar. I encourage you to do some research into that but I am not telling you to switch, just be informed. 4. Many beekeepers like myself keep bees for the bees and not for stealing honey. The bee movie is wrong!

[@serenapeterson8130]

@@taylorguilford2729 I was going to reply that people shouldn't be getting their facts from the Bee Movie.

[@davidspahr4020]

Plant flowers? Plant native species!

[@shungitebeehives8256]

If you keep bees, try and have your neighbors use organic weed killers instead of chemicals, or better yet just leave them.

[@Digger927]

Crops still produce forage for bees...how many square miles of forage has been lost to mega cities and urban development.

[@raewynhewitt976]

Encouraging honey-production numbers are surprisingly coming from Urban beekeepers. Recent years of City-Bee efforts around the world on residential rooftops, on opera houses, on sports arenas - the worlds greatest cities have huge protected parks, but it’s rather surprising to me that planting gardens as individuals, families and communities really can make a difference.

[@gorgig9136]

Yes ,We can save bees by talking and spraying our back yards with"round up" and "talstar", cutting the grass and trees, put more concrete and kill the weeds.

[@omarkos54]

She leaves out the part where Honey Bees are a non-native invasive species. Nothing against bees, but all this talk about "losing" something that never existed in North America should be put into the proper context.

[@neurotica5461]

[@raewynhewitt976]

This is a good series of question to ask at your university. What percentage of food you eat is grown/raised in North America? Of that percentage, how much of that food comes from species that were originally native to North America? Of the food sources originally native to your region of North America, how much of that required pollination, and is that by wind or by insects? Are there any food sources that do not benefit from clean air, healthy soil, fresh water, sunshine? Are there any foods which are not originally native to North America that you would give up eating? Does Vote with your Fork really have an impact regardless of whether you prefer honeybees or native honey producing yet non-domesticated bumblebees?

[@pressedearth9492]

Sad thing is it's not just the honey bees that are disappearing.

[@paigedebusk412]

Plant flowers... but please don’t take THEIR honey.
