EMSG Speaker Series: Walter Thurman - 2/11 - LSRC A155
Please join the EMSG next Thursday for the next event in our speaker series. We will be hosting Walter Thurman, whom will speak on 2/11 at 6:00pm in LSRC A155. Dr. Thurman will be giving a talk titled "Bees, Pollination Markets, and Colony Collapse Disorder." Some refreshments will be provided. To add this event to your google calendar click here.
The European honey bee (Apis mellifera) has proved to be enormously valuable as a pollinator of fruits, vegetables, and seed crops worldwide. In the United States, a complex system of markets has evolved to coordinate the movement of bees among pollinated crops and nectar sources. These markets provide an economic barometer of the health of the pollinating industry and insight into the economic effects of bee disease, including the mysterious disorder of the past several years: Colony Collapse Disorder. Professor Thurman will discuss the current state of honey bees and other topics relating to pollination services in agriculture.
