As honey bee populations in beekeepers’ hives drastically decline worldwide, this knowledge is more vital now than ever before. On May 16, Dr. Tom Seeley, Horace White Professor in Biology at Cornell University, will share the captivating story of what today’s scientists are learning about the behavior, social life, and survival strategies of wild honey bees and how this information can be applied to beekeepers’ hives.
