Presentation by Andony Melathopoulos. Forage areas for bees are threatened by erosion. This impacts not only honey yields, but also the health of bee colony stocks. Today’s program outlines specific needs for forage in Oregon and some key challenges facing the expansion of area planted to forages. Melathopoulos is Assistant Professor in the Department of Horticulture at Oregon State University. He also sits on the Steering Committee of the Oregon Bee Project.
