Honey Bee Husbandry

We work to improve managed honey bee health and the pollination services honey bees provide by conducting research projects focused on honey bee colony disease/pest management, nutrition, toxicology, African honey bees, and pollination ecology.

Current Projects

  • Pests/pathogens: their behavior, biology and control
  • The impacts of pesticides on bees
  • General honey bee management projects (nutrition, pollination, honey production, etc.).
