Coral Sperm Bank to Rescue Reefs; Bee Hotel to Save Forest

(Before It's News)

Sperm bank for coral reefs, so we can revive them once they die. A marine scientist with the Smithsonian Institution is building the world’s largest repository of coral sperm (and soon coral eggs and embryos).

This ‘bee hotel’ could save the forest. The idea, according to builders, is to give native bees and bugs a pesticide free refuge to winter and rest so they can survive and thrive in the surrounding forest.
