Our current research projects
Wild Honey Bee Study
Through citizen science, and in collaboration with the Irish National Biodiversity Data Centre, we are discovering the number and distribution of free-living honey colonies in Ireland.
Outside the Box
With this project we aim to better understand how Irish free-living honey bee colonies are able to survive, unaided, outside of conventional beekeeping settings.
