| Event Name: | The Honey Bee |
| Description: | Professor Ratnieks is the leading authority on honey bee biology, bee keeping and other social insects - the bees, wasps and ants that live in colonies. Professor Ratnieks will head the newly created Laboratory of Apiculture and Social Insects at the University of Sussex.
Professor Ratnieks and his students will study honey bees, stingless bees, ants and wasps with the biggest part being on the honey bee. The three main areas of research are; how do honey bees and insects organise themselves; how do they resolve their conflicts over who works and who lays eggs; improved beekeeping practices, honey bee diseases, breeding and conservation. |
