While the demand for honey bee pollination expands, modern agriculture challenges colony health. This symposium will highlight new findings from young entomologists that can inform agricultural and apicultural management strategies to maintain healthy honey bee colonies. Findings from molecular, enzymatic, endosymbiotic, viral, and nutritional research will be discussed.
