I have had a blast at @euroIUSSI2024! What a beautifully organized conference and what a treat yesterday’s excursion was! Thanks to @IUSSI_NWES for helping me make these memories and hear about such interesting research! #socialinsects #chillioncastle

I was delighted to be able to present our field study at @euroIUSSI2024 today! Wild bumblebee colonies struggle with resource limitation and can be great indicators for pesticide contamination Thanks @IUSSI_NWES for supporting my attendance. @ARIES_DTP @CBehav @uniofeastanglia

Good to see so many early career members of @IUSSI_NWES attending the @euroIUSSI2024. Thanks @IUSSI_NWES for supporting us! Great talk @jankreider, talking about how temperature modulates sociality in the facultative social bee Exoneura robusta!

🐝 new paper! 🐝 We tested the effects of a new insecticide (Flupyradifurone) on bumblebee brood incubation. It’s not looking great for the poor little buzzers… Open access read ⤵️ doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.… #beeresearch #bumblebees #bees

A week ago I got to give my first talk at the #IUSSI2022 conference in San Diego. I talked about how the novel insecticide Flupyradifurone impairs thermal brood care in bumblebees. Thank you @insectecophys @KarenKapheim @Insect_Sciences @JayDEvans88 for this opportunity!

Replying to @lrfischer_
@lrfischer_ presented an amazing work on the risks of a novel insecticide #flupyradifurone to 🐝 at #IUSSI2022 A great call to action to improve the #pesticide risk assessment

Very happy to be able to present my work on “Flupyradifurone impairs collective brood care in bumblebees” at #IUSSI2022! Come along on Wednesday the 6th in Pacific Ballroom 18-20 to hear about an exciting bioassay able to record sublethal effects.
