SUMMARY:Lecture: Diagnosing Queen Problems with Prof. David Tarpy
DESCRIPTION:About this Event\n\n\nDiagnosing queen problems: is it the queen\, the colony\, both\, or neither?!\nPractical advice—based on empirical research—looking at different symptoms and attributing whether or not the problem is the queen’s fault. A lesson in showing how we blame the queen way more often than is actually her fault. \nDavid R Tarpy\nDavid Tarpy is a Professor of Entomology and the Extension Apiculturist at North Carolina State University since 2003. As Extension Apiculturist\, he maintains an apiculture web site dedicated to the dissemination of information and understanding of honey bees and their management\, spearheads numerous extension projects (such as the 2005 New Beekeeper Cost-sharing program that created hundreds of new beekeepers within the state)\, and launched the Beekeeper Education & Engagement System (BEES)—an exciting online learning resource for knowledge and understanding of bees and beekeeping. \nHis research interests focus on the biology and behaviour of honey bee queens in order to better improve the overall health of queens and their colonies. Specific research projects include understanding the effect of multiple mating on colony disease resistance\, using molecular methods to determine the genetic structure within honey bee colonies\, and the determining the regulation of reproduction at the individual and colony levels. His work has provided some of the best empirical evidence that multiple mating by queens confers multiple and significant benefits to colonies through increased genetic diversity of their nestmates\, particularly through increased tolerance to numerous diseases. More recently\, his lab group has focused on the reproductive potential of commercially produced queens\, testing their genetic diversity and mating success in an effort to improve queen quality.
