Introducing Dr. Brock Harpur

Welcome Dr. Sebastian Shepherd to the team! He has been here since June, and spent the summer constructing high tunnels enclosed with screening and gluing RFID tags to honey bees. We look forward to hearing more from you as you continue to improve our understanding of neonicotinoid impacts on honey bees!

Don’t be fooled, even though I did not post this summer, we were very productive! Check out Vegetable Crops Hotline to read about our progress or stay tuned to this page for upcoming presentations at regional meetings.
