Recently, VCE biologist Kent McFarland was on Across the Fence, produced by the University of Vermont Extension. They have been on-air on WCAX-TV since 1955, the longest-running, locally-produced television program in the US. In this episode you can check out a UVM class that is designing landscapes for pollinators with an emphasis on native plants and then listen to Kent talk about the preliminary results of the 2-year Vermont Bumble Bee Survey and learn about the state of our bumble bees.
