We are looking for Honeybees are important beneficial insects for pollinator dependent crop production. For optimisation of pollination potential, keeping managed honeybee colonies healthy is essential. To ensure the colony’s health the beekeeper needs to monitor the health status of the colonies and to decide whether or not to take action. Preferably in a timely…

The Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) with its 1,100 employees has gained an excellent reputation as an international competence centre for environmental sciences. We are part of the largest scientific organisation in Germany, the Helmholtz association. Our mission: Our research seeks to find a balance between social development and the long-term protection of our…
UR 406 Abeilles & Environnement, INRA Avignon, France Pollinators face multiple threats including agrochemicals, pathogens, habitat loss and climate change. A major new project PoshBee (Pan-European Assessment, Monitoring and Mitigation of Stressors on the Health of Bees) aims to understand the impacts of these multiple pressures on a range of bee species and develop novel…
A PhD student is sought for a project on wild bee – pesticide – parasite interactions within the lab of Robert Paxton at the University of Halle, Germany. The goals of the research are to understand interactions between pesticides and parasites and their joint impact on bees, using a range of bee species. The doctoral…

The project aims at studying the information processing pathway in the honeybee brain and its potential impairment by neonicotinoid pesticides. Using two-photon microscopy, morphological as well as functional information is acquired from the brain in vivo. Odour stimuli will be used to monitor odour discrimination, learning, and memory retrieval processes. This will allow insights into…
Varroa destructor is the most important ectoparasite of the honey bee Apis mellifera and represents a major threat to colony survival and beekeeping. Breeding for bees that are naturally able to fight the varroa mite represents a promising control strategy. This is the case of bees that can detect the presence of varroa and remove the parasitized brood…
