Bug Hero: The Bee Babette (Dr KIT PRENDERGAST)
Podcast: Bugs Need HeroesPublished On: Sun Mar 22 2026
Description: This episode we are joined by Dr Kit Prendergast to talk about wild bees! How do we protect these important pollinators from the many threats and what exactly are those threats? And what the heck is a lek? We talk about naming an undescribed species after Tom Ellis, costuming, and the challenges of science outreach when discussing honeybees. Unfortunately this is an audio medium so you'll have to go to her socials to see pictures of her dog Zephyr, who has a species named after them now!
