How can beekeepers select resilient bees and be good stewards? Melanie Kirby

Our management is one of the environmental factors that impress upon our bees. Learning how our management and stewardship within a hive and surrounding landscapes affects our bees can help us to better decipher what we observe and how we select.
There is a synergy as we begin to better understand how genetics, environment, and stewardship interact.
This presentation will share insights into emerging methodologies and applications of bee breeding selection based on these synergistic interactions.
