June 16th – Learn How to Protect ALL our Pollinators with Jennifer Berry

Come hang out with us as Jennifer Berry shows us how to help all our pollinator friends — not just the honeybees we all love! She’ll also give us the latest update from the UGA Bee Lab.

“For over 25 years, Jennifer Berry has been the Apicultural Research Professional and Lab Manager for the University of Georgia Honey Bee Program. Her research objectives have focused on queen breeding, improving honey bee health, the sub-lethal effects of pesticides on beneficial insects, and IPM techniques for varroa and small hive beetle control, weeds for bees, and what best to plant in non-traditional horticultural landscapes to enhance pollinator populations and diversity. Recently, she graduated with her PhD, becoming an Adjunct Professor, and has been teaching the UGA Entomology course “Bees, Beekeeping and Pollinator Conservation”.  From the UGA EDU Bee Lab page.
