Our lab investigates how interactions among bees, plants, pathogens, and changing environments shape pollinator behaviour, health, and evolution. Our research spans laboratory, field, and agricultural systems, addressing questions that range from the evolution of animal societies to the effects of climate change on pollination and pollinator resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My research focuses on understanding how bees and other social animals interact with each other and their environment, from pollination ecology and bee health to host\u2013parasite interactions and the evolution of animal societies. When I’m not thinking about bees, I’m usually climbing rocks, spending time with my family, or relaxing at home with my cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
