Advances in Bee Health virtual meeting
The Status of Pollinators in North America report released by the National Research Council in 2007 sounded the alarm the populations of pollinators upon which we depend on for ecological stability and agricultural productivity might be at risk. Events since then have proven the report to be all too prescient, with alarmingly losses and extinctions especially for bees, the most important pollinators on the planet. This session will highlight some of the latest advances in promoting bee health involving research on nutrition, microbiome, genomic-based breeding, nesting biology, social immunity, and landscape management. The webcast will be available at 11:30 a.m. EDT on Sunday, April 26. For more information: http://www.nasonline.org/about-nas/events/annual-meeting/nas157/science-sessions-bees.html
