LINK Honey Bee Trait Balancing Act Apiary Management with Krispn J. Given

Honey Bee Trait Balancing Act Apiary Management.
Krispn J. Given is an apiculture specialist at Purdue University and focuses on selecting for behavioral traits to reduce the impact of varroa mites and the bee diseases they cause.

He gives listeners an appreciation for the complexities of beekeeping while keeping the fascinating aspects of the activity front and center. For example, researchers like Given are actually able to select for mite-biting behavior, which is a recessive, heritable trait.
