Honey Bee Toxicology
We attempt to define impacts of pesticides and other chemicals to honey bee health through laboratory and field studies. We are also interested in exploring novel chemistries to control honey bee pests and determine their safety to honey bee colonies and the environment.
Current Projects
- Impacts of pesticides to adult and immature honey bees: mosquito control, agricultural chemicals, miticides
- Exploring new compounds: screening potential miticides, maximizing the efficacy of existing products

Guide to HBREL Research
Honey bee toxicology relates to research associated with protecting bees from and with chemicals. We also have two other major research themes in our laboratory. Be sure to check those out when you finish browsing this page.
