- This $100,000 cooperative agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care program (CFDA 10.025) supports the Ramsey Research Foundation's work to collect and study honey bee pests from the Tropilaelaps genus. The project aims to address gaps in knowledge that prevent effective emergency response planning for pest incursions in the U.S. by determining how to better detect...
- This $241,419 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the protective symbiosis mechanism of honey bees at the University of Michigan from October 2022 to October 2023. The goal is to characterize how a bacterial symbiont protects honey bee brood from fungal pathogens by investigating its antifungal properties. Researchers will use microbiology, genetics, genomics, chemistry and bee rearing to determine how the trait evolved and identify the antifungal metabolite...
- The Bee Informed Partnership, Inc. will receive a $142,676 cooperative agreement award from the United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service under the Plant and Animal Disease, Pest Control, and Animal Care federal grant program (CFDA 10.025). Through this funding, the Bee Informed Partnership will determine the composition, diversity, and recombination rates of deformed wing virus variants in honey bee and Varroa mite populations across U.S. commercial...
- This cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service will provide $219,718 to the University of Maryland, College Park through April 30, 2023. The funding supports survey, sampling, and diagnostic analysis to examine the relationship between in-colony wax varroacide residues and varroa mite resistance. Specifically, the University will utilize the USDA's existing honey bee health surveillance program to collect beeswax and varroa mites...
- This three-year $240,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research investigating host-pathogen dynamics in response to resource pulses in bees. The grant was awarded under the Biological Sciences program of the NSF Division of Biological Infrastructure to study how mass blooming cover crops and surrounding landscape floral resources impact bee disease resistance, pathogen infection, and transmission. Specifically, the fellow will examine how resource pulses from vetch crops...
- This $1,120,270 National Science Foundation project grant, funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), will support research into the social and ecological drivers of life history evolution in wild bees. Principal investigator Utah State University will conduct three sets of experiments to investigate how wild bees allocate resources between immunity, reproduction, and longevity as a function of variation in their social and ecological environments. The research aims to determine...
- This Project Grant award in the amount of $144,912 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at North Carolina State University to investigate the factors shaping host-associated microbial communities using the honey bee as a model system. The research aims to integrate concepts from ecology and evolution to understand how environmental factors, species interactions, and evolutionary dynamics influence the composition of...
