The National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology (CFDA 47.074 – Biological Sciences) awarded $570,713 to the Regents of the University of Minnesota on January 1, 2027, for a collaborative research project examining wild bee resilience to heat waves across multiple scales of biological organization. The three-year project, concluding December 31, 2029, will deliver comprehensive research findings through a multi-tiered approach: laboratory studies measuring individual bee behavior, reproduction, and survival across life stages in response to simulated heat waves; field observations using automated remote cameras to track nesting behavior and nest site selection by wild bee populations during heat wave conditions; and artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted camera trap monitoring of native bee community activity across hundreds of square kilometers before, during, and after naturally occurring heat wave events. This research will advance understanding of mechanisms that buffer pollination services against extreme weather, with direct applications to food security and ecosystem integrity. The project will produce peer-reviewed scientific outputs, validated technological methodologies for environmental monitoring using AI-assisted systems, and educational programming through the University of Minnesota's museum partnership. By bridging individual organism physiology to community-level responses, the research will identify the biological scales at which heat wave resilience emerges in wild bee populations—critical knowledge for developing strategies to sustain pollination services in an increasingly variable climate.Federal Grant Award Summary
