Pollinator decline is a grand challenge in the modern world.

譯者: Lilian Chiu 審譯者: Anny Chung

在現代世界中，傳粉物種的 減少是個很大的挑戰。

partly because of our long history with them dating back 8,000 years ago

to our cave drawings in what is now modern-day Spain.

有一部分是因為我們與蜜蜂的歷史 可以追溯到八千年前，

And yet we know that this indicator species is dying off.

位於現在西班牙地區的洞穴壁畫。

Last year alone, we lost 40 percent of all beehives in the United States.

但是這種指標性的物種正漸絕跡。

That number is even higher in areas with harsh winters,

光是去年，在美國， 我們就失去了所有蜂巢的 40%。

在嚴冬地區，比如麻州， 那個比例還更高，

我們單單一年 就失去了 47% 的蜂窩。

你們能否想像如果去年我們 失去了一半人類的情況？

Can you imagine if we lost half of our people last year?

且失去的還是會生產食物的人呢？

And if those were the food-producing people?

如果不是靠養蜂人努力 更換死去的蜂巢，

If not for the work of beekeepers replacing these dead beehives,

我們就會失去 我們賴以為生的食物：

we would be without foods that we rely upon:

就連我們的牛賴以為生的食物，

Even the food that our cattle rely upon to eat, hay and alfalfa -- gone,

Now, I first started keeping bees here in Cape Cod

right after I finished my doctorate in honeybee immunology.

是在我拿到蜜蜂免疫學 博士學位之後。

Imagine getting such a degree in a good economy --

想像一下，在經濟狀況 很好的時期拿到那種學位，

I knew that I could find out how to improve bee health.

我知道我能研究出 如何改善蜜蜂的健康。

And so the community on Cape Cod here in Provincetown

people looking for ways to get involved and to help.

大家都在想辦法參一腳、提供協助。

And so we met with people in coffee shops.

所以，我們在咖啡店和大家會面。

A wonderful woman named Natalie got eight beehives at her home in Truro,

娜塔莉慷慨提供 她在特魯羅家中的八個蜂箱，

and she introduced us to her friend Valerie,

並介紹我們認識她的朋友瓦萊麗，

who let us set up 60 beehives at an abandoned tennis court on her property.

讓我們於她的廢棄網球場 設立 60 個蜂箱。

And so we started testing vaccines for bees.

我們便開始測試蜜蜂用的疫苗。

And our citizen science project started to take off.

我們的公眾科學計畫開始起飛。

I figured I should tell him what we were doing.

我覺得我應該要告訴他 我們在做什麼。

I was terrified; I really thought I was going to get an eviction notice,

我很害怕；我真的以為 我會收到驅逐通告，

which really was the last thing we needed, right?

I must have caught him on a good day, though,

不過，我大概碰到 他心情很好的日子，

because when I told him what we were doing

因為當我告訴他我們在做什麼，

and how we started our nonprofit urban beekeeping laboratory,

及我們如何成立非營利的 都市養蜂實驗室時，

he said, \"That's great! Let's get a beehive in the back alley.\"

他說：「那真棒！ 我們在後巷弄個蜂箱吧。」

I mean, instead of getting an eviction notice,

我不但沒收到驅逐通告， 還多拿到了一個資料點。

各位現在所看見的， 這個隱藏式蜂箱——

what you see here, this hidden beehive --

這個蜂箱在第一年所產的蜂蜜量

that beehive produced more honey that first year

超越我們曾經管理過的 任何一個蜂箱。

than we have ever experienced in any beehive we had managed.

它永遠轉變了我們的研究角度。

It shifted our research perspective forever.

It changed our research question away from \"How do we save the dead and dying bees?\"

「我們要如何拯救 已死和瀕死的蜜蜂？」

轉變為「蜜蜂在哪裡活得最好？」

And we started to be able to put maps together,

我們開始能夠把地圖拼湊起來，

looking at all of these citizen science beehives

from people who had beehives at home decks,

這些都是大家放在家中露天平臺、

and the more people who got these little data points,

And so when you're sitting here thinking, \"How can I get involved?\"

所以，當你們坐在這裡 想著「我要如何參與？」

you might think about a story of my friend Fred,

你們可以想想我的朋友 佛萊德的故事，

who's a commercial real estate developer.

thinking about what he could do for tenant relations

來大規模的改善 房客關係及永續性。

he put honey into his tea and noticed on the honey jar

他把蜂蜜加到茶裡面時， 注意到在蜂蜜罐上

a message about corporate sustainability from the host company of that meeting.

主辦單位印上一段 有關於企業永續性的訊息。

An email, a phone call later, and -- boom! --

在寫了一封電子郵件， 打了一通電話之後 。砰！

We put dozens of beehives on the rooftops of their skyscrapers

我們在他們的摩天樓屋頂上 放了數十個蜂箱，

Nine years later, we have raised over a million dollars for bee research.

九年後，我們為蜜蜂研究 募得了一百萬美元。

We have a thousand beehives as little data points across the country,

我們有一千個蜂箱遍布全國， 都是我們的資料點，

where we have created paying jobs for local beekeepers, 65 of them,

我們為當地的養蜂人創造了 共 65 個有薪的工作機會，

to manage beehives in their own communities,

他們的工作是管理 自己社區內的蜂箱，

who are now data points together making a difference.

這些人現在也成為資料點， 一起創造不同。
