We have begun extracting RNA from our bee samples! In this photo, Kendall, one of our stellar undergraduate researchers, is testing the quality and quantity of RNA in a sample. Next step: test the RNA for viruses: deformed wing virus, black queen cell virus, and Israeli acute paralysis virus.

Crop pollination by migratory beekeeping operations presents a highly concentrated convergence of bees where diseases may be transmitted and spread as hives are transported throughout the US. To test if migratory operations contribute to the spread of disease, we propose an experiment where we subject hives to almond pollination in California and compare their disease loads to stationary hives in N. Carolina. Upon the return of the migratory hives, we will measure subsequent disease spread.
