Pleased to be part of a new paper highlighting the issues of increased honey bee hybridisation in Ireland: doi.org/10.1080/00218839.202…
Fantastic for us to have the opportunity to talk about #honeybee genetics in Maxim Nekliudov's new documentary film 'Natives' about the UK's native honey bee. youtu.be/DdS-_hfhc-o
Also a great opportunity for us to promote the facilities, services and support of @Roslinnovation @roslininstitute and @EdinInnovations
Delighted to be invited to talk about spinning out Beebytes as a social enterprise at the @BBSRC Sparking Innovation conference #BBSRCSparkingInnovation
Great to hear the story & ethos of @BeebytesCIC at today’s @BBSRC Sparking Innovation Conference @EdinInnovations #BBSRCSparkingInnovation
Not how science is mean to happen, but still a fascinating discovery! theguardian.com/environment/…
Happy to have been able to support this fascinating work into the #honeybee #waggledance - there's always more to learn about these fascinating insects!

Feeling very lucky to spot Braula in a sample of bees from the Scilly Isles. Braula is a wingless fly that lives in bees and steals their food - mostly wiped out by varroa treatments but still hangs on in varroa-free locations.
Fungicide can affect memory formation in honey bees by interfering with glucose levels in the haemolymph. A fascinating insight into how agrochemicals can impact pollinator health. journals.biologists.com/jeb/…

A fascinating use of pollen analysis to date these ancient footprints
New research confirms antiquity of ancient human footprints at White Sands, showing they were left behind c. 23,000 and 20,000 years ago and demonstrating that humans were present in southern North America during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) popular-archaeology.com/arti… #Archaeology
An interesting defence mechanism against hornets! theguardian.com/environment/…
Non-native imports are risky - especially when the companies doing so don't adhere to the relevant biosecurity requirements! #bumblebees tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

📢 Your opinions count!
Please take this quick survey on the #honey consumption habits of European consumers and their views on modern and sustainable beekeeping practices.

Fascinating to see the same methods we use for pollen analysis applied to such ancient materials! ox.ac.uk/news/2023-08-22-res…
Oops - forgot to actually repost it!
1/8 Excited for my first ever paper to be published today, and as first author too! 🎉
Using samples collected by citizen scientists, we analysed the population genetic structure of the Common Yellowjacket across the UK. 🧬🐝

Congratulations to our very own Dr Mark Barnett and researchers at the @roslininstitute and @EdinburghUni for this new paper, creating the first whole single cell atlas of honey bees at any stage of development. doi.org/10.1093/g3journal/jk…
