Nice news piece including our recent crop domestication/#pollinator health work, and work by @EmilyJBailes on potential breeding solutions.

Quality posters and poster-boys on agrochemicals, nutrition, and parasites in bumblebees @ ECE Naples @AgriBeeHealth @poshbee_eu @_TomOliver_ @AlexMatthews124
~6000 individual TRIzol RNA extractions completed! Watch this space for results on bee diseases from deep sequencing, pollinator networks and viral prevalence work. Big thanks to @OwenNW @VBSDoublet @sophiehedges_ Here's an emotive picture...

Stop those pesky insects now! A friend passed on this email circular. Following the link to the product page and you'll see that Farmchem recomend this product for killing BEES, centipedes, ground beetles, spiders, crickets, earwigs etc. etc.. Dear God.

Bee viruses can be detected in hoverflies, we still have so much to learn about these diseases! Excellent coverage of our work with @kaitlindeutsch @sphaerularia @OwenTLewis at bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir… . For the full text: doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2018.00… .

Really excited to have the first of my PhD papers out with @Beverley_CUBG ! We investigate the idea of breeding beans to have more bee friendly flowers, read my blog post on the project at: goo.gl/km4Ct4 and the full paper at doi.org/10.1002/ece3.3851 🌸🐝
