From YouTube: A City that works - Pollinator Project

Description

Environmental Health inspector Tiana Cervantes spends part of her job building pollinator habitats in collaboration with the Healthy Bees Healthy Lives campaign. Pollinator populations are in sharp decline, so Tiana has chosen to organize the construction of 150 patches and planted more than 200 trees, providing pesticide-free nutrition for pollinators throughout Minneapolis.

My name is Tiana Samantha everyone else for gloves when I, don't because I like the feel of a Chanel and I, am an environmental health inspector.

The other part of my job that I get to do is I, go out and work a pollinator habitat.

A

There's been recent research, that's showing that bee populations are declining, so we're doing this because there is habitat loss going on. There is different pesticides that are harming our bee populations and then they're also diseases and parasites a little bit just rough it up a little bit and then put that plan through my thready draft. You go we're putting these patches in to provide more food to the pollinators here and sit in the intercessor.

A

These raised beds are just beautiful, I mean when they grow in with the plants that we have they're gorgeous.

A

I'm so fortunate, with this initiative project that I'm out like talking to kids and talking to residents about why it's important that we're doing this and each time I do that I feel like that's a success. I couldn't ask for anything.
