Coming up on June 25

I mean to make a video about biodiversity to accompany the UN conference on the topic that was supposed to take place in April. Alas, the conference was postponed due to COVID and also, the topic turned out to be too broad to reasonably fit into 15 minutes.
So we decided to look at bees in particular. Do you remember the headlines saying that the bees were going extinct? Seems like that didn't happen. But just what happened, what's the situation, and how bad is it? We go through it on Saturday.
Also, I have to warn you that I recorded this video when I was recovering from my cold, and my voice sounds a little funny.

My definition of "general public" is just "everybody except experts in the field" of whatever topic the article is about. This makes you and me both general public here.
2022-06-22 12:37:43 +0000 UTCA bit off topic, but still an interesting take on biodiversity: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sean-carrolls-mindscape-science-society-philosophy/id1406534739?i=1000567140553. The guest, Ed Yong, recently wrote a book on the topic and a guest essay in the New York Times yesterday.
