and on pollinator protection. also in terms of keeping global peace. the thousands of samples she collects help scientists gain an overview of insect populations. we can for example take this one yeah this is amazing be. the amazing views that will make us. the researchers have been studying feeding and breeding behavior they've also shown farmers how to spot insect nast's we did interviews with families they don't recognise. so for this we have to go through the field and to show them yeah. make them and seeing their balance and their field so with that i have a part in that and also when they have a large amount of like kilometers of cereal field. from the point of view of pollinator this is a. here. and they cannot cross as we cannot cross. wheat doesn't need insects to reproduce so the bumble bees are lucky if they find any flowers in the vast fields especially since unlike honeybees they can't fly very far. one problem is the growing tendency toward monoculture in morocco as the country modernizes agriculture

from the point of view of the wild pollinator this is a hot here. and they cannot cross as we cannot cross. wheat doesn't need insects to reproduce so the bumble bees are lucky if they find any flowers in the vast fields especially since unlike honeybees they can't fly very fine. one problem is the growing tendency toward monoculture in morocco as the country modernize its agriculture. the government agency is cooperating with the fact. it says the insect protection model can easily be integrated into the country's agricultural planning. to pull up i think fuck all the inclusion of wild pollinators in our culture fits in perfectly with the ministries current strategy. it involves making our culture more intelligent in the face of climate change and. looking mighty. agriculture in the face of climate change the agency now offers training based on the fab model farmers learn that plants that rely on pollinators usually consume less water than wheat for example that's useful to know because in the future water will be even scarce or who will. train the

in 2014 after an executive order on pollinators, the park service was asked to put in a pollinator garden. we worked with the first lady's office, and the national park service put in this pollinator garden. the focus is mid-atlantic natives to support our native pollinators as well as honeybees. that was planted in a spring planting in 2014. there is beau to give us a hand. the first lady got help from schoolchildren as well. it is a nice showpiece. as i said, the garden grew over the years. in 2016 when mrs. obama realized she was leaving, she really wanted to make the garden more permanent. like i said, it was always meant to be something the american public can relate to. now she was thinking this garden could be here long time. we did not know who the next administration was. they could tear it out or keep it, but she wanted to make sure it had an important -- importance. so some of the elements that were there, a small picnic table and the paths were taken, and a patio was designed by architect students at the university of virginia and a large patio was put in so it could be enjoye

we have more on that in this week's mission ahead. >> bees are responsible for pollinating one-third of all crops worldwide, but pesticides, parasites and climate change are all making it harder for bees to survive, and populations are declining impacting the nearly $20 billion they contribute to u.s. crop production. in fact, this past winter saw the highest honey bee colony losses on record, but the company bee flow thinks they can give bees a boost with a nutrient packed super food formula they say improves their performance. >> we say we are developing strong and smart bees. >> feed the bees the formula, and they can work longer and in colder temperatures. helpful for crops like these almond trees in california, which have short pollination windows. >> very close from here, we've done a trial where we see that our bees were doing seven times more flights under really cold temperatures. >> with no automated way to monitor bee performance, the bee float team spends hours each day staring at trees counting bees. >> we know how many bees the flower requires to develop a fruit of x si

|j cross pollinate with other crops, that we don't want them. i don't think that's true. gm offers a huge amount of possibilities. we have a lot of gm crops grown worldwide at the moment over huge areas, farmers are getting on very well with them, they love them. but some of the technology is developing all the time and some of the new opportunities we have coming up now are even more exciting. we really can't afford to turn our back on a technology that could offer us so much to solving some of the problem is that we will face in the future. dale said in the piece that we have been fiddling with nature for 9000 yea rs been fiddling with nature for 9000 years and isn't this just more clever ways of making crops have better yield and using fewer pesticides and being betterfor the environment? it isjust pesticides and being betterfor the environment? it is just clever signs, isn't it? it is very clever science but gm is a technology and the way that we apply the technology is what matters. we need proper safeguards, robust regulation. is what matters. we need proper safegua

there's a ton of cross pollination i believe between the left and the right. this is an unexplored area of my archive. this is a hunch i'm telling you. the people i write about are really really into native americans. where did you go? they are really into native americans. i think it is partly because a reservation system is one answer o a white homeland question. they like the idea of apportioning space for everybody and then sorting. they also are sort of into the west in a way that kind of creates a -- [inaudible] -- of native people. and then they also have a lot of interests in -- well, maybe not -- i don't want to overstate this, but if you live on a white separatist compound your two likely neighbors are farmers and we know a lot about kind of the intersection between this and the farms crisis in the 80s. but your other likely neighbor is hippies. so the people that i write about are really interested in like macrobiotic diet and organic gardening, i think that's got to be more than just kind of a simple like we're going to take their good strategies.

our pollinators also in trouble, so what can farmers do to make things better? i've come to meet the farmer, johnny alvis. this is beautiful. it's a lovely view, isn't it? and you've made this? well we've done a lot of work here. we put the pond in 30—odd years ago. the woodland behind us has four or five acres of trees. and then more or less natural, native trees to us. they went in not long after. we've just had a policy of making use of the ground that we can farm well and farming that, and then the small edges, the corners and the bits and pieces that we don't want to farm, that are not so easy to farm, we've wilded in some form or another. and is that deliberately to encourage nature back in? it's to encourage a bit of nature and is to break the ground up a bit. providing bits of shelter all over the place is good for the nature. well we were looking over there just now. we saw some deer. what other wildlife have you got here? obviously, we've got the deer. a lot of hares, quite a lot of rabbits. the sort of normal things you would expect to see in relati

if there is cross pollination between those two, i think you can identify them. we should have an understanding of what is being counted and also, are we only counting the security dollars? directincluding bilateral spending, international commitments such andhe global partnership the committee at united nations? then again, what about the funds we spend either in the military or the department of energy to protect our facilities? is that being included as well? that breaks if down. i think it is a very good project. i think the defining scope will be the challenge and i think it is worth the effort to try to figure out how to do that as well. the second recommendation is a blue-ribbon bipartisan commission to recommend a conference of strategy. i know i'm going to sound like a cynic, but in washington, blue-ribbon commissions are basically where top issues go to die. that is the nature of them in usually, it is after an incident happens to determine what happened, or you have an issue that is overlap for the two sides. in this case, i don't see the need because

if there is cross pollination between those two, i think you can identify them. but i think it is fundamentally different to take taxpayer dollars and spend them in the united states on nuclear security versus cooperative programs with our international counterparts, and we should have an understanding of what is being counted. also, are we only counting the national security dollars? are we including direct bilateral spending, atomic energy agencies, other international commitments, such as the global partnership and the unitedmmittee at nations? then again, what about the funds we spend either in the military or the department of energy to protect our facilities? is that being included as well? i don't know if that breaks down. i am not sure of the wisdom of that. i think it is a very good project. i think the defining scope will be the challenge, and i think it is worth the effort to try to figure out how to do that well. the second recommendation is a blue-ribbon bipartisan commission, a comprehensive strategy, and i know i'm going to sound like a cynic, but

that we don't really like gm foods, that they're a bit weird, fiddling with nature that they cross, pollinate with other crops that we don't want them. i don't think that's true. so gm offers a huge amount of possibilities. we've got a lot of gm crops that are grown worldwide at the moment over huge areas. the farmers are getting on very well with them, you know, they love them, but some of the technology is developing all the time and some of the new opportunities that we've got coming up now are even more exciting. and i think you know we really can't afford to sort of turn our back on a technology that could offer us so much to solving some of the problems we're going to be facing in the future. liz, dale in the piece said that we've been fiddling with nature for 9,000 years. isn't there just more clever ways of making crops have better yield and using fewer pesticides and being better for the environment? it's just clever science, isn't it? it's just very clever science, but gm is a technology and the way that we apply the technology is what matters. we need proper safeguards. we need rob
