Laboratory
Equipment will now be featuring a Scientist of the Week, chosen from
the science industry’s latest headlines. This week’s scientist is Dennis
vanEngelsdorp from Penn State Univ.
vanEngelsdorp has been tracing and researching the rapid decline of
honeybee colonies, a problem he says has heavy implications as bees are
intrinsically linked to our environment, as well as our food supply.
Q: What made you research bees?
A:
It goes back to when I was an undergraduate student actually. I took a
bee keeping course as an elective. There is a saying in the bee world,
“once you get stung by a bee, it’s in your blood and you are in for
life.” That turned out true for me. They are such a fascinated species, I
am just fascinated by them.

Honeybees that help in the pollination of crops are disappearing at a
fast rate from the United States, Reuters said. The beekeepers as well
as the U.S Agricultural department are studying the cause of this
decrease. One of the reason yet identified is the use of pesticides on
the crops. Bee keepers are making efforts to keep their bees alive.
