CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Spring means the annual return of many insects, and while some are perceived as nuisances, others are actually of paramount importance to all other life forms.
Bees are no exception to this, and in fact are some of the most important insects as they help with pollinating many plants that are the basis of our ecosystem.
Clarksville Now spoke with Wes Powell, the assistant director of landscape and ground in the physical plant at Austin Peay State University, and Alexandra Wills, director for the Center of Service Learning and Community Engagement at APSU, about the importance of bees.
