1. Alfonso Perez:

   While surviving in 100 beehives on Hickenbottom’s property, the insects were owned and maintained by Alfonso Perez. He leases the property during the winter, and Alfonso Perez leases the beehives to pollinate almond trees throughout California. Somebody came here, and tipped over all the boxes, and sprayed them with diesel fuel, it killed a whole bunch of bees.

2. Angel Waldron:

   Warmer temperatures allow the trees to pollinate earlier and for longer times, we didn't used to see our cars covered in pollen before March, but we do now, and we hear from people all the time who are dealing with allergies for a lot longer than they used to when they were little. That's definitely connected to climate change.

3. Christina Grozinger:

The proposed artificial pollinator does not have any of these specialized behaviors, and thus really can only 'pollinate' flowers that are extremely easy to pollinate.

4. Taylor Ricketts:
