Bee’s Eye View: Using Multispectral Photography to Simulate Bee’s View of Flowers in Natural Settings

Creator:: Bruslind, Svea
Abstract:: Scientists have long recognized that bees and other insects respond to floral color, including ultraviolet (UV) floral patterns that are invisible to the human eye. While previous research has focused on isolating and capturing these UV markings in laboratory settings, methods that could be used in natural settings needed to...

Improving Honey Bee Health: Evaluating Efficacy and Safety of Oxalic Acid Vaporization Tactic for Varroa destructor Control and Understanding Factors Triggering European Foulbrood Disease

Creator:: Bozkus, Mustafa
Abstract:: Honey bees are vital for our food production and ecosystem due to their critical pollination services. The beekeepers in the United States and worldwide have reported significant colony losses for over fifteen years. Several stressors are implicated in these colony declines, including parasites, diseases, poor nutrition, and pesticide exposure. There...

Evaluating pollinator populations and lamb productivity from simple, diverse, and legume pastures in a dual use pasture system

Creator:: Caudillo, Mia C.
Abstract:: Dual use pasture systems, sometimes referred to as dual purpose pasture systems, take advantage of the land being used to maximize multiple outputs from a single area. Developing a system to support both production of grazing livestock as well as pollinator health is of increasing importance in pasture-based farming systems....

Leveraging the Food-Energy-Water Nexus for Planet Resilience

Creator:: Steadman, Casey L.
Abstract:: We have sufficient evidence that our historical management of natural resources is not sustainable. Food production is stagnating or declining. Nonrenewable energy sources on which the energy sector has historically depended are being rapidly depleted. Water resources, for which the energy and food sectors compete, are being depleted and impaired....
