Most beekeepers are in agreement that populations of honey bees, bumble bees, and other pollinators are in decline globally due to the effects of multiple stressors.  Dr. Christina Grozinger, distinguished professor of Entomology and Director for the Center for Pollinator Research at Penn State, will discuss her research on the impact of these stressors on honey bees, and the results highlight the importance of pollen for honey bee health and survival.
Additionally, president Dan Boylan will discuss mite treatment with the oxalic acid vaporization method.
