Understanding and Improving Honey Bee Nutrition for Sustainable Crop Pollination and Apiculture

This webinar was presented on March 2, 2022 by Dr. Ramesh Sagili, Associate Professor of Apiculture in the Department of Horticulture at Oregon State University. Poor nutrition is one of the major factors attributed to honey bee colony declines reported over the past fifteen years. Habitat loss, intensive agriculture, monocultures and changes in plant flowering phenology are most likely contributors to poor nutrition. Nutrition plays a vital role in mitigating effects of these stressors on bees. Currently, there is huge gap in knowledge pertaining to bee nutrition. So, it is necessary to understand honey bee nutrition holistically. This webinar will focus on (a) nutritional challenges facing honey bees during crop pollination (b) efforts to understand nutritional requirements of honey bees and (c) strategies to improve bee nutrition.
