Through national collaborations and applied science, we investigate the health, disease resistance, habitat quality, and the impact of environmental stressors on honeybees and native pollinators, as well as their productivity. Our research informs the development of better tools, stronger policies, and sustainable practices for beekeepers, producers, and scientists alike. Explore our current and completed projects below to learn how we’re advancing pollinator protection—one study at a time.
