Robyn Underwood obtained a BSc in entomology and applied ecology from the University of Delaware, Newark, DE, USA and a PhD in entomology from the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, MB, Canada.

Dr. Underwood's research focuses on honey bee colony management and its effects on honey bee health. She conducts applied research that can be used by beekeepers directly. In collaboration with Dr. Margarita Lopez-Uribe, she studies management styles across the continuum of beekeeping management practices, and aims to deliver the information to beekeepers through extension efforts, including the development of a web-based decision-making tool.
