Polar Bears, Bees, and Amphibians. Forget the hype. A fresh look at the real deal affecting some much publicized animals. Nothing but the facts, ma'am. The most recent evidence involving the problems faced by these species will be introduced. Dr. Fitzgerald will include first-hand experience with these precious animals. Although...he's been quoted, when asked if he was a dog or cat person, "Anything with a heartbeat." Do bees have that? Well, online authorities say: "Bees have an open circulatory system, meaning that they do not have veins or arteries, but rather all their internal organ are bathed in a liquid called ‘hemolymph’ (a mix of blood and lymphatic fluid)." Perhaps he meant to say, Anything with a heartbeat or a buzz.
