We’ve spent some time on this podcast discussing pollinators and their life histories but today we are taking a deeper dive into plant chemistry to better understand the relationship between pollinators and their floral resources.To help us explore this fascinating topic, is Leif Richardson, Xerces Endangered Species Conservation Biologist.

Leif is also the co-author of a range of scientific publications on bees, including Bumble Bees of North America: An Identification Guide.
