*The effects of a honey bee pathogen on colony resiliency * *Thursday March 28, 2013 7:30 pm * *Presented by Michael Goblirsch, University of Minnesota*
My research examines the effects of the emerging honey bee pathogen, Nosema ceranae, on the physiology and behaviors involved with the division of labor in honey bee workers. I have found that N. ceranae may disrupt the basic underpinnings thought to regulate the age-specific tasks that workers perform during their lives. Infection with this fungus may be a contributing factor to recent high colony mortality. *When*: Please join us from 7:00-7:30 pm to socialize over cookies.
