Honoring the spirit of discovery this Memorial Day weekend! #KU entomologists at work! 🐝#ScienceInAction #Entomology #Research

Check out the highlights of our symposium on sustainable #stingless beekeeping and policy. Organized by WCS Colombia 💚, KU CLACS, USAID/Colombia, Conservación Internacional 🇨🇴. PDF freely accessible here: lnkd.in/e2qk3B6F #StinglessBees #BeeConservation #pollinators

New work out today with BeeMachine, Gratton Lab, Elena Gratton, and Hines Lab on how we can use #AI to ID some of the more challenging bees from images of whole pinned bees and just their wings. Look for more on this soon! K-State Department of Entomology journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Excited to share our new paper on the foraging ecology of a rare stingless #bee species living above 2500m in the #Andes of #Colombia. Check out the CT scan video of their nest!

We went to see this cool aggregation of ground-nesting #bees

Scientists are trying to figure out which insect species are struggling, what it means for ecosystems and, ultimately, how it will impact people. Via Kansas News Service: lawrenceks.news/4aSfQ7q

Yay! Our newest publication on bumble bee assemblage responses to climate and landscapes 🐝 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc…

🔥off the press! Our new paper in Royal Society Publishing: “Extreme heat exposure of host plants indirectly reduces solitary bee fecundity and survival” We tested whether pollen from heat stressed host plants has negative effects on wild bees. 🧵1/11 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Botanizing is the study of #plants in their natural habitats. Has anyone used melittonizing for #bees? I have been melittonizing for the last few weeks 😄🐝

I just came back home from spending 10 incredible days at the Southwestern Research Station, where I had the opportunity to be an instructor for the #BeeCourse #bees #pollinators 🐝 instagram.com/p/C_R5RPrtByO/

NEWS: Congratulations to Andrew Short, Ph.D., professor and chair of the Entomology and Nematology Department at the University of Florida, who has been elected as the next Vice President-Elect of Entomological Society of America. MORE: entsoc.org/news/press-rel…

Friday afternoon well spent! 🐝🪲 Sorting and identifying bees and beetles #Entomology #Bees #Beetles #Biodiversity

Great day in the field with our graduate students and Liam Wrixon (Haskell Univ), a scholar in KU’s BioGEM Post-baccalaureate Research Program, supported by the NSF. Excited to see Liam working on the thermal ecology of pollinators this year! 🐝🌿 #PollinatorResearch #bees #NSF

Please help us to complete this survey for our symposium at #ECN2024! 🐝🪲🦋

After almost 20 years, I'm back at #BCI in Panama, where my journey away from home began. So grateful to reconnect with my #STRI mentor and friends who inspired it all! #BCIPanama #Mentorship #FieldResearch #bees

Congratulations Katherine Parys!

Had a great time with #KU entomologists at the 'Hasta Luego Monarchs' event in Olathe, KS! 🦋 We hosted a booth on local pollinators, climate, and genetics of monarchs. We had more than 300 guests # Pollinators #bees #MonarchMigration #STEMeducation
