Publication Type: Poster Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Over 70% of the worlds flowering plants require a living organism for pollination. Many of these plants include the fruits, vegetables and grains humans consume, as well as feed for livestock and plants necessary to support wildlife. Although numerous organisms are pollinators, the honey bee is the most important for agricultural production. The recent decline of honey bees and other pollinators underscores the need to embrace the precautionary principle and sustainability as means to addressing this crisis. Ecological pressures at local and global levels have resulted in increased honey bee mortality across the world. Despite our heavy reliance upon this insect, we directly contribute to their decline. Colony Collapse Disorder, use of pesticides, habitat fragmentation, the increase of pests and disease, and stressors caused by commercial production of honey bees all threaten the future survival of the honey bee. As science searches for causes, an understanding of the principles of sustainability may be what provides a framework for their recovery. This undergraduate course traces the life of a hive, the ecological roles of honey bees as pollinators, their long cultural history, and introduces concepts and practices of local, regional, national, and global sustainability though direct student engagement. SCSU’s Plant it Forward initiative, which includes a campus community garden and urban orchard, serves as an outdoor learning laboratory for students in this course to directly participate in the development of pollinator habitat and its connections to sustainability in the campus community and the greater New Haven area.
