Event Title
Are Honey Bees Really Dying?
Host Organization
Description
It has been a major news story for the last 15 years. Honey bees are dying. Pollination is threatened. Our food supply may dwindle. The Earth is doomed! However, are honey bees really dying? Sure, in many ways, beekeeping is harder than ever. Colony loss rates are high in many areas around the world. Old pests and pathogens continue to cause problems. New pests and pathogens threaten colony health. With all of the confusion swirling around bee health, we are left to wonder what the future holds for honey bees and humans. In this lecture, Dr. Jamie Ellis will discuss the reality of honeybee colony losses, what is killing bees, and what it means for us.
