What's going on everyone? Kevin from Epic Gardening here and I'm back for our final

episode for now at least with Dave Hunter of Crown Bees. So we've been going

into the life and times of bees. So we've been going into the life and times of bees quite in depth this week

which has been fantastic. We've learned a lot about bees that are not the

classic honeybee. How to cultivate a good bee environment and really just understanding

a little bit deeper and rounding out our knowledge of bees in the garden.

So I think it's a really good conclusion to this week to talk about Dave's program.

It's called the Native B network.

And so I am going to be participating in it this year.

I'm really excited for it.

But I thought, Dave, why don't you give us the pitch?

What is the Native B network?

What's going on with this program?

Thanks, Kevin.

So I'm on a conference call, well, every quarter at least with a whole bunch of scientists,

worldwide scientists that kind of focus on the whole nesting bees and it's 12 with them

and one in me and gosh years ago a couple years ago one of this

there's talk I said you guys out of the 350 species is a possible of these

types of bees you're only talking. Do you want to know why?

Someone said humorous, Hunter, why? I said, because that's all you have in your hands.

We've got a one European mud using bee, one Asian mud using bee, and one US mud using bee, and that's it.

I said, what if I went out and gave you guys more bees to study?
