About The Lab

The Honey Bee Lab at the University of Maryland has diverse personnel with multidisciplinary scientific backgrounds. 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 reoccurring 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.

We are also major partner and founding member of the Bee Informed Partnership (BIP) who collaborates closely with beekeepers from across the country to study and better understand the loss in honey bee colonies in the United States.
