- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) provides $240,000 in funding to support a postdoctoral research fellowship in biology from July 2024 to June 2027. The fellowship will investigate how honeybee swarms utilize local information to adapt their internal and external structures in response to environmental perturbations such as wind, rain, and temperature changes. The research will involve experimental studies using X-ray...
- This $626,680 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) will fund research at Colorado State University from January 2024 through December 2026. The research aims to understand the mechanistic, functional, and evolutionary bases of slow-fast phenotypic diversity and its significance in social honeybee groups. Investigators will study genetic lines of honeybees bred for low and high metabolic rates to understand fundamental differences. A...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The University of Colorado Boulder received a $400,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Mathematical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) beginning September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028. The award funds research on collective and multiscale dynamics of resource transfer in honeybee colonies, focusing on how bees use simple behavioral rules—such as following chemical cues, observing...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $544,492 will fund research at Montana State University from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025 under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The research aims to develop high-fidelity computational models and physical experiments to better understand the structural mechanics of floral stamens during buzz pollination by bees. This will provide insight into how vibratory forces optimize pollen release. The researchers will quantify forces bees...
- 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...
- This three-year, $753,407 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at Marquette University to understand how honeybees collectively manage thermal fluctuations. The principal investigator will study the physiological, genetic, behavioral and neural mechanisms that allow honeybee colonies to effectively regulate temperature through fanning behavior. The research aims to determine how social interactions shape fanning responses, uncover neural gene networks associated with...
