Why Is Kit Prendergast Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Kit Prendergast, nicknamed "The Bee Babette", is a wild bee ecologist from Perth, Western Australia. She studied at Curtin University and gained her PhD after researching the biodiversity of native bees and pollination networks in urban areas, along with how to conserve them and the impact of honeybees on native bees. Prendergast has also researched and written about urban area issues for bees, focusing on Perth and the south west of Western Australia.
