"They seemed so aggressive and mean...But the more you learn, the cooler they are." Tawnya Kiernan reflects on her evolving perception of wasps and hornets, highlighting the complexity and importance of these insects in pollination and ecosystems.
"The pollinators move seeds around, in turn they get the energy to raise their young," Mike Kiernan explains the mutualism between pollinators and plants, emphasizing how interspecies cooperation enhances ecological systems.
"It contracted with a nonprofit that the Kiernans started, called Bee the Change, to seed pollinator-attracting plants that are native to the area in the rows between them," detailing the innovative approach of combining solar energy production with promoting native pollinator species.
"Most of the attention to 'agrivoltaics'...has gone to more common agricultural practices, such as letting sheep graze between the panels," illustrating the unique methods being explored in agrivoltaics, highlighting the potential benefits beyond traditional practices.
