| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to the Indefensive Plants Podcast, the official podcast of |
| 0:04.0 | IndefensivePlants.com. |
| 0:05.6 | What's up? |
| 0:06.6 | This is your host Matt, welcome to the show. |
| 0:07.8 | How is everyone doing this week? |
| 0:10.0 | We have something really cool to talk about today and that is bees, plants and the microbiomes |
| 0:15.2 | they share. |
| 0:16.6 | This is so much more complex than bees as its flower picks up bacteria and takes it elsewhere |
| 0:20.7 | and joining us to tell us just how complex and how wild this world is is Dr. Quinn McFrederick. |
| 0:26.7 | Along with many of his collaborators, they are blowing the top off of bee microbiome research |
| 0:32.1 | and really showing how amazing it is as we know it today and just how complex and amazing |
| 0:36.3 | it could be into the future. |
| 0:38.5 | Before we get to that conversation, I just want to say podcasts like this don't exist |

| 1:00.1 | I don't want to keep you from this fascinating discussion any longer, so let's jump right |
| 1:04.4 | into it without further ado. |
| 1:06.1 | Here's my conversation with Dr. Quinn McFrederick. |
