#96: The Link Between Bees and Our Survival with Dr. Reese Halter
“We cannot exist without all of the creatures.” -Dr. Reese Halter
Dr. Reese Halter sounds like a California surfer that is full of love and positivity, but don’t let his easygoing demeanor fool you. He is a tireless advocate for the planet and has written several books on this subject. I invited him on the podcast because he is also a bee expert. I wanted to learn more about bees and their honey. It turns out that bees are actually super important as are all the pollinators. Despite their tiny size, we depend on them to have food and they are an integral part of our ecosystem.
In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I talk with Dr. Reese Halter, a forensic naturalist and lover and protector of the earth.
We discuss:
What it means to be living in the 6th mass extinction on planet Earth
How our personal choices affect the climate
What pollinators are and why they are important
Why bees in particular are so cool and special
What’s the deal with eating honey - reasons to eat it and not eat it
What we can personally do to support pollinators
Why veganism is important to arresting and reversing climate change
What mono crops are and why they can be harmful
What he wishes more people knew
What personal habit he is most proud of

More about my honored guest:
“Dr. Reese is to global warming what Steve Irwin was to wild animals,” a student says of Reese Halter, a prolific author, broadcaster and environmental advocate who vociferously warns of the imperative need to save trees, bees and seas. Halter designed Muse School’s science curriculum and is a former professor at California Lutheran University. He’s a forensic naturalist who broadcasts extensively in Australia, and he mourns its habitat and ecosystem losses. He’s also an ardent supporter of Gen Z’s efforts for climate justice.
“I’m a full-time advocate for Mother Earth, and my forthcoming book, GenZ Emergency, addresses the need for climate justice,” he says. “If we have no trees, we have no life. American cities have lost more than 180 million trees, which cast invaluable shade, afford habitat for our planetary partners, recharge aquifers and provide oxygen.” Just like our planet’s climate, insects are also in trouble, Halter warns. He urges “lawmakers to enact laws mandating stringent environmental measures be implemented and enforced.” Malibu is a leader, but “it needs to pass an ordinance to protect all ancient trees,” he says.
