Check out ted.com for some intelligent, thought provoking conversation. Since 1984 TED has produced a wild array of honest, at times controversial lectures that are guaranteed to stimulate the mind.

According to vanEngelsdorp "pollinators are canaries in the coal mine and their disappearance is a referendum on the state of our environment - a reminder of the brilliant and frightening interdependence of our ecosystem".
