- January 1, 2025 - - (Excerpt) Ana Heck. Michigan State University Extension: Megan Milbrath and Zachary Huang, Michigan State University Department of Entomology

The Journal of Insect Science partnered with the American Association of Professional Apiculturists and the Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists to publish a special collection of scientific articles on recent research on honey bees: Current Honey Bee Research: Investigating Micro and Macro Aspects of Health and Sociobiology.

The articles are open source, so everyone can access them for free. Articles cover topics that affect honey bee health, including genomics, epigenetics, immunity, toxicology, host-parasite interactions, nutrition, evolutionary biology, behavior, physiology and population ecology.

Michigan State University’s Meghan Milbrath and Peter Fowler worked with colleagues Declan Schroeder and Jessica Kevill to publish “No impact of hygienic behavior and viral coinfection on the development of European foulbrood in honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies during blueberry pollination in Michigan.”
