- This USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant, valued at $299,999.00, was awarded to the University of Southern Mississippi to conduct research on honey bee immunity and the impacts of microsporidian parasites. The key objectives are to: 1) generate single-cell RNA sequencing of uninfected and parasite-infected honey bee immune cells (hemocytes) to advance understanding of host-parasite interactions, and 2) investigate...
- This $742,173 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.310, Agriculture and Food Research Initiative) to Colorado State University will support a 4-year research initiative to evaluate interactions between wild bee populations and managed honeybees in peri-urban landscapes of the American West. The research aims to (1) characterize the extent and strength of resource overlap and competition between wild bees and honeybees, (2) determine if honeybees...
- This $180,000 Cooperative Agreement award from 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) aims to enhance honeybee health. The primary objectives are to detect new invasive pests (Tropilaelaps sp.) and assess the spread of insecticide resistance in the major honeybee pests, the Varroa mite and Small Hive Beetle. The award was made to Florida A&M University, a...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) awarded a $435,178 project grant to Utah State University to explore and exploit a reservoir of multi-sensor data collected from field experiments with managed honey bee colonies. The project will curate this dataset, which includes thousands of frame photographs and millions of sensor measurements, and make it publicly available to the U.S. precision apiculture community. The university will use...
