At NC State, we are always buzzing with excitement about bees. 🐝 ncstateappliedecology currently has over 50 active research projects investigating bee health. From their microbiomes to the landscapes they inhabit, all are aiming to generate more buzz and healthier hives for these essential pollinators. “I really appreciate how well-connected the university is with growers and land managers,” said Bianca Jimenez, a graduate student studying bee disease. “It helps take our research beyond the lab to make a difference.” A new state-of-the-art Apiculture Research & Extension Center, funded with help from ncbeekeepers, will open in 2026 on Lake Wheeler Road.
