So many amazing talks happening at #BeeCon this year. Super excited to hear about all the amazing research happening out there. Particularly excited for the talk from Egypt can’t wait to learn about the bees of my homeland 🇪🇬🇪🇬

Can definitely attest to this 😭

My very last first day of PhD fieldwork, definitely have some mixed feelings. Long Point was pretty cold that day and it rained, but still managed to set up all my malaise traps. Didn’t see many insects out except for a B. impatiens queen & a few flies.

What’s my least favourite part of malaise traps you ask? Sorting through all these tiny #insects at the bottom of the jar 🤦🏾‍♀️

This project was made possible by the amazing work of seeing this to the finish line by two former masters students Sarah MacKell & Hadil Elsayed

Urban honey bee hives may sound like a sweet idea, but new research by Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change Prof Sheila Colla Sheila Colla, Ph.D & team Sarah MacKell Hadil Elsayed found they could be causing a decrease in Toronto of some wild bees, species richness & diversity link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Graduate students especially those in entomology/ecology, how do you keep on top of writing during the field season? Field work and processing samples seem to be taking up all my time right now and writing has taken a backseat. #PhDlife

After three long field seasons and countless boat rides, today was my very last field day at the Long Point NWA as part of my PhD research. It was an amazing experience hope I get to go back again in the future. Thanks for all your help today Briann Dorin 😂

Really thankful I got to attend my first ever Entomological Society of America meeting this week. Truly a blast, met some amazing people doing some very cool research. Also won the President’s Prize 1st place for my talk in SysEB: Climate Change BeesYU #EntSoc23

Health issues have put science on hold for me personally, but giving a shout out to my amazing lab members out there changing the world in different ways on this #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience

Happy international day for women and girls in science !! A huge thank you to Sheila and Hadil for welcoming me back to the lab to continue contributing to research at the inersection of insect biodiversity and climate change 🦋🐛🐝🐞

Honey bee stressors everywhere all at once! Our new BeeCSI study in Current Biology, finds that stressor networks in honey bee colonies are complex and dependent on crop and region Amro Zayed BeesYU Leonard Foster. Read more here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1ixih3QW8S6E… [doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…]

#YorkU Prof Sheila Colla wins this year’s Ontario Nature Education Award for her role in encouraging others to understand and enthusiastically support conservation and protect the environment. Sheila Colla, Ph.D Ontario Nature Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change BeesYU bit.ly/4d0r7DG

Congrats to Taylor Kerekes on the successful defence of her MSc research. The Colla lab will miss you! Wildlife Preservation Canada is lucky to have someone so dedicated to native pollinator conservation.

"A recent study in Toronto by Colla’s lab suggests honeybee abundance decreases the richness and diversity of native bees." thenarwhal.ca/ontario-native…

Had the best time at #EntSoc24 with Hadil Elsayed and everyone from the Sandra Rehan lab at BeesYU. All the talks were amazing, this girl is leaving very inspired 🐝
