@Entomony: Are the most connected flowers in pollinator networks more likely to transmit disease? Flower mixes should consider disease transmission! Plant-pollinator network reveals that node degree doesn't mean more parasites - maybe morphological differences! #StudentForum23

🔥How does the #climatecrisis stand to impact our #bees?
🐝One of the ways it affects them is in their ability to fly, check out the latest research from @thebeemumbler, @PawarLab, & @richjgill published today!

How does temperature determine bee flight endurance? Check out our research using flight mills to reveal thermal performance curves of bumblebees of varied body sizes.

This is Danny Kenna’s (@thebeemumbler) 2nd PhD publication – big congrats!!

The first bumblebee brain atlas is out. In collaboration with the Pfeiffer group, we used micro-CT scanning to construct it. So cool to be able to explore.

So excited when I found this hibernating Queen Wasp in a fence post today!
All the workers die but the queen hibernates through the winter. Then she lays eggs in the spring for the next season & then those are workers that build her nest & collect food!🐝
