New bee health management tools
Several environmental stressors are responsible for the declines in bee health and the resulting losses of colonies. Our ability to manage such stressors through different treatments or medications is minimal. Our work aims to develop new tools for bee health development that will help beekeepers counter declines in bee health and minimize future losses. Examples include the development of new medications to treat bee diseases or innovative ways to repel bees from hazardous areas, such as insecticide-treated crops.
