Our previous work showed the potential for virus' to spillover from honeybees to bumblebees. In a new BBSRC-funded study, we're asking how and why this happens, and how we can stop it
We are leading a pan-European project to understand and mitigate the impacts of pesticides, parasites, and poor nutrition on managed and wild bees in Europe
The short-haired bumblebee went extinct in the UK in the 1980s. We are working with the short-haired bumblebee reintroduction project to return it to the south of England
Nectar and pollen contain more than sugar and water. With researchers at Kew Botanic Gardens, we want to understand how plant chemicals impact bee health
Sphaerularia bombi is a nematode that castrates and controls bumblebee queens - we're interested in all aspects of its biology, from behaviour to gene expression





We are working with the gardening team on campus to improve bee habitat and improve biodiveristy
