This presentation covers the potential benefits of supplemental feeding during pollination, the impact of colony strength/space on foraging behavior, and the benefits and drawbacks of several potential alternative pollinators. It was presented at the 2023 Columbia Basin Vegetable Seed Association Annual Meeting.
This presentation describes my plans for my research on improving pollination quality in seed crops through improved honey bee nutrition. This was presented during the Marilyn & James Hyde seminar in the WSU Department of Entomology.
