The Bee Lab, led by Dr. Judy Wu-Smart, focuses on providing beekeepers, landowners, and homeowners with the scientific knowledge needed to support and sustain healthy bee populations. The lab’s research examines a wide range of stressors, from environmental challenges to biotic factors such as pests and pathogens, that impact both managed and wild bee populations. Students in the lab work to better understand these factors and develop solutions to address the issues threatening bee health.
