Project
The honey bee population is in steady decline which has raised a global warning of their extinction. The loss of honey bees will have a detrimental effect on the availability of our own food resources. Interestingly, providing proper nutrition can help honey bees to overcome various environmental stressors. My PhD will look at whether B-vitamins can play a role in supporting honeybees.
