Results from @DrLizFranklin1's work remotely tracking #bees in collaboration with @JakeShearwood @CristianoPalego @BangorApis et al was published on 22 Dec.

Despite school shut downs @HandlerOfBees still worked with teachers from 200 schools acrossto set out nest boxes for cavity nesting #bees & #wasps. Since Sept Sage hasn heroically working to assess occupancy of the returned nests & extracting DNA for barcoding #BeesAtSchools

In the field this year @bees4future examined #honeybee & wild #pollinators visitors to milkweed flowers, @InsectAaron assessed
biodiversity on a range of crops & @SabRondeau examined potential pesticide impacts on squash #bees, & hunting for #bumblebee queen overwintering sites

Congrats to Kyra Lightburn @soil2skyecology & Sabrina Rondeau @SabRondeau on sailing through their #PhD qualifying exams during 2020. No mean feat under any circumstances, let alone during a pandemic! #ProudSupervisor @1in3mouthfuls @UofG_SES
Well done Kayla Mundy & Emily Agar for working so tirelessly to write & revise your PhD & MSc theses. This is a huge task under normal circumstances, so hats off to you for achieving this under #COVID19 restrictions. Good luck
for your defences in the new year #ProudSupervisor
