T: Sabaidee Caty! C: Sabaidee Toui! T: Do you grow fruit bushes in your garden? C: Haha…I don’t garden. But my husband has blueberry bushes. T: Wow, do they bear fruits every year? C: Yes, but Ed is more interested in the pollinators the bushes attract than their fruit. He has plants just for the bees! T: My blueberry bush doesn’t bear much fruit. C: You could plant another kind of blueberry bush next to it. A blueberry plant produces more berries and bigger berries when it cross pollinates with a different blueberry variety. T: I see. I know pollinators are important. I just saw a video about them on the VOA website. Do you want to see? C: Yes, let’s watch! (Play video) Pollinators writ large, bees, butterflies, many other insect groups are threatened on a global or local scale due to habitat loss or destruction. So, when we convert a forest into a cornfield, you lose practically every native pollinator you started with in that forest. So, the Western honeybee, semi-domesticated animal that we farm, that we manage in boxes, is not in decline globally. T: Do you which words I’m going to ask you today? C: I have no idea! T: Haha, I would like to know what is Native. C: Sure! Native means to belong to a particular place by birth. T: I see, how about destruction? C: Destruction means the action or process of destroying something T: What about decline? C: Decline means to become less in amount. T: Thank you. Can we ask someone to teach us how to pronounce these words? C: Yes, let’s go ask my friend. T: Please say thank you to your friend for me. C: Yes, I will.
