Save the Bees

President Obama has announced a new plan to help restore bee and butterfly populations across North America. The plan’s centrepiece is a proposed bee habitat corridor along the I-35 freeway— a major north-south interstate highway in the Central US that runs from Texas to the Minnesota city of Duluth. Catherine Winter, who lives in Duluth and keeps bees herself, tracked down some other bee enthusiasts to talk about the president's plan and their own efforts to protect the pollinators that help feed us all.
