Bayer CropScience has a long history of commitment to pollinator health and honey bees in particular and the new North American Bee Care Center builds on that foundation.
“There’s been so much interest in pollinators over the last few years,” says Dr. Ian Kelley, Bayer Bee Health Issues Manager, who says they came up with the idea for the center after realizing how it could bring together stakeholders for education, research and outreach. “It started off quite modest and it’s kind of grown into something that we are really proud of.” Interview with Ian Kelley, Bayer CropScience
Mark Schneid, who works on the turf and ornamental side of the Bayer business, says the center is the culmination of Bayer’s 25 years of bee health work with a desire to make a difference in the future, “so that we have sustainable agriculture, sustainable landscape, and sustainable and healthy pollinator partners.”
Bees are not only a vital part of feeding the world, they also help make it more beautiful by pollinating the flowers and trees in our own backyards. Interview with Mark Schneid, Bayer CropScience
