Experts In The News

A recent study by researchers from Georgia Tech’s School of Biological Sciences reveals a new connection between sulfoxaflor — a next-generation pesticide — and disruptions to bumblebee reproduction and gene expression. And while its use may be well-intentioned, it's also crippling the DNA of many worker bees responsible for our pollination. This link matters more than ever as the world slowly watches our pollinators meet an uncertain fate.

Urban beekeeping as a hobby has grown across America. There has been a push everywhere to understand the role our pollinators play in agriculture and gardening. If you look closely around metro Atlanta, there are hives in neighborhoods, hotel rooftops, near parking decks. We begin our spotlight with the buzz of a Georgia Tech science building, home of the Georgia Tech Urban Honeybee Project's hives.
