Veterinary Studies: Conservation Medicine MSc

This coming week staff from the University Apiary Project are working with the School of Veterinary Medicine to help teach their online distance learning MSc in Conservation Medicine. We discuss invertebrate ecology from the perspective of threats to honey bees, both naturally occurring, and man-made.

It is always interesting to be able to teach others about honey bees and related species, and the effect that man's intervention has had for them - both positive and negative.

Teaching international students also allows us to get some insight into local threats to bees in areas outside the UK, and get a different perspective on what the 'major threats' are in different regions of the world.
