Our weekly program, Making Democracy Work, is a collaboration between KSMU Radio and the League of Women Voters of Southwest Missouri. It's hosted and produced by volunteers from the LWV, and it airs each Monday morning at 9:45 on KSMU.
In this episode of our local program Making Democracy Work, host Maggie Castrey speaks with Valorie Nichols, vice president of the Beekeeper’s Association of the Ozarks.
Nichols share information about several expected and unexpected pollinators in the Ozarks, with a particular focus on the importance of honey bees. Nichols talks about why both hobbyist and professional beekeepers alike work to protect and support them.
The Beekeepers Association of the Ozarks will be one of several groups at the Earth Day Festival April 25.
