Thinking Vegan, Thanking Pollinators

Pollination is the most important thing that bees do for people. We all enjoy the honey, but pollination is so vital to our agriculture today.

That's Tracy Hunter of Hunter's Honey Farm. Gretchen Frazee speaks with him and researchers from Indiana University to find out what makes a bee colony strong and healthy.

Also in the program, volunteers with the Bloomington Community Orchard build bee hives and bird houses to entice pollinators to call the orchard home.

In the kitchen, we celebrate an all-vegan Cinco de Mayo with Sweet Pea Guacamole, Tofu Sour Cream and Vegan Dream Quesadilla. And, it's never too early to start preserving flavors of the season. Chef Daniel Orr shows us how easy it is to make Pickled Peppers.
