Decline of bees topic of discussion

A Wednesday discussion at Kansas University is set to focus on the impact of struggling populations of bees and other pollinators.

Chip Taylor, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at KU, will lead a talk and discussion about the issue and how it could affect plant life.

Plants would be unable to reproduce if bees and other pollinating animals continue to decline. Taylor’s discussion will focus on the impact that could have on both flora and fauna.

The free event is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday at KU’s Natural History Museum. It is open to the public.
