Dolezal lab tour 2020
by Dolezal Bee Lab

Hi Everyone!

Unfortunately, we can't have an in person meeting this year, but I am so glad for the opportunity to make an online presentation instead. Rather than just record a powerpoint talk of me talking at a desk in my basement, I thought it would be fun to use the opportunity to give a tour of some of the University of Illinois Bee Research Facility spaces, including some 'on the inside' videos showing how we set up and experiments and how we do what we do.

So instead of showing results from our studies or talking about specific topics, I am going to walk through some of the tools we use and things we do to study bee biology in my lab. This was a team effort, with videos shared by several people that work at the Bee Lab; they were generous enough to film some of their actual experimental setups and narrate what they are doing.

We focus a lot on the more lab-oriented work, but of course most of what we study has the goal of applicability to bees in real colonies in real apiaries.
