🐝 Are honeybees getting too much attention? Do we really understand the global ecology of bees and how they respond to environmental change? New research asks whether our evidence base is skewed. @nesbit-sci.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... @davegoulson.bsky.social @richjgill.bsky.social

Bees sustain key functions in natural ecosystems and agricultural landscapes, yet our understanding of their ecology is typically informed from studies concentrated on a few model taxa. To reveal how ...

Nice to catch up with everyone at the #IUSSI conference in London today. A good representation from the lab too with some excellent student posters! With @nesbit-sci.bsky.social, Charlotte and Monika - I think it's also safe to say my phone camera has seen better days!
Miles Nesbit stood in front of his poster on trait contributions to fomite mediated pathogen transmission Charlotte Fryday stood in front of her award winning  poster on the design and application of apparatus to monitor flower mediated pathogen transmission
