About the Lab
The Honey Bee Lab at the University of Maryland has diverse personnel with multidisciplinary scientific backgrounds who bring a fresh perspective to solving problems. Research in the laboratory is focused on an epidemiological approach to honey bee health.
We are proud to share our research into the major mechanisms that are responsible for recurring high loss levels in honey bee populations, such as pests and pathogens associated with honey bees, loss of natural forage habitat due to large monocultural croplands, and pressure from human induced changes in the environment. Our significant outreach efforts are led by our BeeSquad team. These efforts include webinars, in-apiary demonstrations, regular presentations at Maryland State Beekeepers meetings, colony management services, one-on-one mentoring services, etc.
Our team has led and managed the USDA APHIS National Honey Bee Disease Survey since 2009 and we are also a major partner and founding member of the Bee Informed Partnership (BIP), headquartered at UMD, who collaborates closely with beekeepers from across the country to study and better understand the loss in honey bee colonies in the United States.
