September is National Honey Month, making it the perfect time to celebrate honey, and the remarkable pollinators, plants, ecosystems, and people connected to every jar.

Planet Bee got the opportunity to join the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) in celebrating the 197th year of the award-winning Philadelphia Flower Show, hosted at the Pennsylvania Convention Center from February 28th to March 8th.

To celebrate this year’s International Women’s Month, we spoke with Dr. Kit Prendergast, a valued member of the Planet Bee community as well as a native bee ecologist and science communicator the "Bee Babette”. During our interview Dr. Kit was able to share with us her experiences as a woman in conservation, how to support others in the field, and the significance of her work in science communication and native bee research.
