## Resource

“[Stingless bees] pollinate more than 80% of Amazonian flora, from your coffee, chocolate, and the avocado on your toast,” says Peruvian scientist and conservationist Rosa Vásquez Espinoza. These harmless and often overlooked buzzy fluffers play a large and often forgotten role in the World’s richest ecosystem. From providing medicinal honey to communities, to empowering women to become stingless beekeepers – these striped marvels have got us buzzing!  Join the Climate Curious conversation on socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/climatecuriouspod/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@climatecuriouspod YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtF6xzNkVIczlDmVcH8FCMA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/10996041/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TEDxLondon Website: https://tedxlondon.com/podcast/ All other links: https://linktr.ee/climatecuriouspod   Created by TEDxLondon Executive produced by Josie Colter Produced by Ben Beheshty Curated by Deesha Chandra Hosted by Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst Communications by Tara Cooper and Issey Gladston Hosted on Acast.
