Alfalfa Leafcutting bees
As reliance on alternative managed pollinators grows, species like the alfalfa leafcutting bee (Megachile rotundata) face parasite and pathogen pressures that remain poorly studied. Our research targets parasites and pests that affect these bees, supporting their health and performance as reliable crop pollinators.
Wild bee diversity
Our Wild Bee Research Program studies and conserves native and naturalized bees in urban and industrial landscapes, developing accessible tools for species identification (pollipro.com) and partnering nationally to support wild bee conservation.
