Great question Jerry Percy! To improve honey bee colony health, our study recommends (but we also hope to generate further discussion):
· Analyzing data on multiple stressors using techniques like network models that reflect possible interactions among stressors (1/3)

Pierre Giovenazzo (@Beecsi Université Laval) discusses the high colony losses on Ontario’s Manitoulin Island, and the need to manage multiple interacting stressors, with Chris St-Pierre (@csp_pro) Elsie Miclisse ICI Première Listen (in French) here! ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/premiere…

Happy #EarthDay2024 from everyone at #BEEc . The beautiful connections between earth and sky, pollinators and plants, plants and growers should be celebrated and protected on Earth Day and every day.

Well done Nina. Awarded a York University thesis prize for her MSc dissertation in the department. Very well deserved. YorkU - Science

“It highlights the fact that if we’re talking about the conservation of insects, we need to understand the whole life cycle,” Prof Sheila Colla comments on new research about bumblebees. tgam.ca/3Ujw4Bs | Sheila Colla, Ph.D YorkU - Science Ivan Semeniuk The Globe and Mail

What’s stressing honey bees as they pollinate crops like blueberries and canola? A much more complex web of interacting stressors than previously thought, says YorkU - Science Prof Amro Zayed Amro Zayed and Postdoc Sarah French Dr. Sarah French BeeCSI BeesYU bit.ly/442iiGs

Super excited to announce that we will be opening up a high tech honey bee research apiary at York University’s Keele campus, thanks to investments from CFI / FCI Ontario Genomics and YorkU - Science coming this spring! ❤️🐝🙌

also… so much fun to start 2024 with two papers in Current Biology by Dr. Sarah French and Katie Dogantzis respectively thanks so much Sarah and Katie 🙌

Thank you to Ivan Semeniuk for giving me a chance to comment on this fun study from Nigel's lab. There is so much more research to do on these cool insects!
