Field Work Complete!
We just completed a successful field season and are happy to announce: all samples have been collected and are now safely stored at the lab! While Zac has been hard at work inspecting hives, moving hives, and collecting and shipping samples from SC, the rest of us have been processing samples and entering data in the lab. With the help of a few stellar undergraduate helpers, samples from the first two sampling events have been processed for both mites and nosema. Coming up: we have a big week of lab work planned to examine viruses in all samples and to finish mite and nosema counts for the samples collected from the third sampling event. We should have some preliminary results for you soon! Stay tuned...
