The central hub of my research is the thermal biology of honey bees, aiming to improve their abilities to withstand harsh environmental conditions. In this scope, I consider all abiotic and biotic stressors on cellular, individual, and colony level, with studies from basic beekeeping to modern sophisticated technologies such as bioinformatics and nanotechnology, with expertise in modeling, GIS, and RS. The ultimate goal of my research is to improve honey bee health under stressful environmental conditions, to increase productivity from colonies, and to improve their abilities as plant pollinators to ensure global food security.
