This week, Emma taught us all about pollination and the super star pollinators: BEES! Unfortunately, some bee populations are declining due to things like habitats loss and climate change. That’s why Emma stopped by Pioneer Brand Honey’s apiary (where bees are kept) to have a Conservation Conversation with Andre Flys. Check out some of the pictures of her visit in the slideshow!

One of the best ways you can help pollinators is to plant a pollinator garden. That’s a garden of flowers and other plants that attract native bees and butterflies in your area. Lucky for us, there’s an Earth Rangers Mission all about creating an awesome pollinator garden called Pollinator Power!

Some of our members have gone above and beyond to help bees, like Joel. He started Joel’s Bee Factory, a company that specializes in making bee condos. These are places for bees that don’t nest in hives to lay their eggs. Check out our exclusive interview with Joel to hear all about bee condos and Joel’s Bee Factory from the creator himself!

Thank you so much to everyone who sent in their animal sounds! We got just enough to power up The Device and try it out with Animal Ambassador Finn. Unfortunately, after a few attempts, The Device ran out of juice. That’s why we’re asking you to send in even MORE animal impressions and we’ll try again next time.

As a reminder, you can use the voice recorder on your phone and ask your parents to email it to podcast@earthrangers.com, or click on the button right under this sentence.
