About Us
Think honeybees do all the pollinating? Think again!
Native pollinators are responsible for 1 in 3 bites of food we eat, but they are disappearing because nobody knows about them.
Secret Pollinators changes that - one tiny hero at a time.
Secret Pollinator Podcast reveals the secret world of native bees, butterflies, and other tiny heroes that actually do most of the heavy lifting in American gardens and ecosystems. Spoiler alert: that tomato on your plate was probably pollinated by a native bee, not a honeybee.
Host Kelly from Montana, has a Master of Science degree in Business Management, is a Certified Pollinator Steward, is on a mission to make a real difference in the lives of native pollinators through short, mind-blowing episodes about the 4,000+ species of native bees you've never heard of—plus the butterflies, beetles, and other pollinators working overtime in your backyard.
Each episode is packed with fascinating facts and simple actions you can take to support these essential creatures, whether you're in a big city apartment or on a sprawling farm.
Warning: You might become slightly obsessed with spotting bumblebees everywhere you go (Kelly definitely is). When that happens, join the Secret Pollinators Facebook community to share your discoveries and connect with fellow native bee advocates.
