As both an avid beekeeper and a passionate birder, Dr. Harris struggled with the perceived divide between these communities. He worried that enthusiasts of native species might resent his enthusiasm for honey bees, while beekeepers might view his love of bird watching as eccentric or stereotypical. For years, he lived as though these interests did not intersect.
Over time, however, Dr. Harris came to appreciate that honey bees and native pollinators can coexist, each playing an important role in sustaining broader ecosystems—including the survival of songbirds. This talk will explore his gradual transformation in perspective and highlight the intricate interdependence of animal species within food webs rooted in native pollinator communities.
