Dr. Marla Spivak, Distinguished McKnight Professor, Department of Entomology, University of Minnesota, will discuss how honey bees have remarkable behaviors to maintain colony health, through what is called "social immunity." Despite this efficient health care system, honey bee health is failing. She will review the stressors that honey bees, and our diverse native bees, are facing and describe ways we can all help them survive and thrive once again.
