Gail holds a PhD in Entomology from McGill University, specialized in wild pollinator ecology. Gail has been learning and working with bees for over 15 years, specifically in research on wild pollinator diversity and non-honey bee pollinators of food and forage crops.  Her expertise aligns perfectly with our mission of protecting pollinators with data-driven, ecologically-responsible methods. 

Alexa started as a Pollinature intern working towards her diploma in Environment and Wildlife Science at Vanier college. After completing her schooling and internship, she decided she was hooked on pollinators and now works with us full time. Alexa helps us manage our laboratory experiments focused on improving the health of alternative crop pollinators. 

With a BSc in Education, an MSc in Environmental Science, she has specialized skills in research and  environmental data management. Megan helps us with our lab and field research and with managing and analyzing our pollinator data. She is currently working hard on developing our pollinator habitat scoring system, our collaborative research  project with the Ziter lab at Concordia University.

Etienne is an expert in all things insect. He is a professional entomologist who published an extensive guide book on the insects of Quebec. His research revolves around entomology collections, pollinator diversity, urban entomology and entotechnologies. His study on urban bee diversity in Quebec is the largest survey of insect pollinators conducted in the regions to date, with 32,000 + specimens catalogued and identified to the species level!

Eve has a passion for insects of all kinds. She joined our team as part of our collaborative research project on analyzing and improving pollinator habitat with the Ziter lab at Concordia University. With a DEC in Environment and Wildlife management from Vanier college, and her own bug business, Eve has lots of skills in field ecology and entomology and has been a great help to our team!

Wayne is a research scientist who has worked extensively in the areas of alfalfa leafcutting bee pathology & parasitology and alternative crop pollination research over the past 45 years. Wayne brings key experience and expertise to our projects focused on alfalfa leafcutting bees, forage seed production, and pollinator and pest managagment in agriculture.
