Can Mushrooms Save the Bees?

One of the world’s most important pollinators is under attack. Bees are being threatened to extinction by the spread of viruses, but mycologist Paul Stamets has found a revolutionary and natural solution: mushrooms. Stamets shares how fungus extract can be used as medicine for bees to help save their dying colonies in a way that connects us back to the Earth.

This video is part of a series called "Seeding the Field: 30 Years of Transformative Solutions," which celebrates some of the best moments of the Bioneers conference through the last 30 years. Founders Kenny Ausubel and Nina Simons, who organized these brilliant lectures, were gracious enough to assist in the curation of the keynotes selected for the production of these videos. Many thanks go to the Bioneers organization, its staff and partners, and all those who proudly call themselves Bioneers.
