The Bee's Knees
Bees are astonishingly intelligent, deeply connected little beings whose work keeps ecosystems thriving and our communities fed. They help power sustainable agriculture, biodiversity, and healthy landscapes. On The Bee’s Knees, we invite you into their world — a place full of wonder, surprises, and quiet brilliance — and share simple, meaningful ways you can support the real busy bees of our planet.

From Landfill to Pollinator Paradise: Rewilding a forgotten space
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How can creativity, collaboration, and ecological know‑how turn even the most unlikely landscapes into thriving habitats for pollinators and people? We visit Indian Lake, New York, where a capped landfill is being transformed into a vibrant pollinator meadow. Kristina Hartzell and Kailey Maher from ADKAction share how this innovative project began, what they’re learning from early test plots, and why native plants are key to restoring biodiversity on disturbed land. We also explore the role of community partners—from local schools to volunteers—in bringing this once‑forgotten space back to life.
