Beekeepers know that good nutrition ensures the overall health of their bees and that it can also help buffer other health challenges. But we often hear the question “what is considered ‘good’ nutrition, and how can beekeepers ensure that their bees have access to it?”
 
New research, informed by beekeepers and funded through PAm as part of the Healthy Hives initiative, was undertaken by Dr. Vanessa Corby-Harris of the USDA-ARS Carl Hayden Bee Research center in Tucson, Arizona. This research was designed to help beekeepers decide if, and how, to invest in protein supplements for their bees. 
 
Preliminary results of this research were recently presented by Dr. Vanessa Corby-Harris, and collaborating commercial beekeeper Blake Shook, in a webinar for beekeepers.

The PAm-Costco Scholarship is an investment in the future of honey bee health by developing intellectual expertise and supporting those who will help solve problems in the future: tomorrow's bee scientists.  As the 2019 PAm-Costco Scholars transition to the next steps of their careers, we’ve been excited to check in with them about their accomplishments. Dr. Alex McMenamin received $100,000 in PAm-Costco scholarship funds in 2019 to support his work on honey bee antiviral defense mechanisms at Montana State University’s Pollinator Health Center, with advisor Dr. Michelle Flenniken. 
Having successfully defended his thesis and graduated, Dr. McMenamin is now a postdoctoral researcher at the USDA-ARS Honey bee breeding, genetics, and physiology lab in Baton Rouge, and funded by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) through an interagency agreement between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the USDA. His publications include describing the role of heat shock proteins in antiviral defense in honey bees, and provides a target for potential antiviral treatments or breeding programs(1). We had a chance to catch up with him about his experience as a PAm-Costco Scholar, and working with the beekeeping community.
