Martin Hasselmann’s research shows East African honeybees use a 600kb chromosomal inversion to thrive at high altitudes. Highland bees are mostly homozygous for the inversion, which is linked to lower expression of Octopamine receptor beta-1 (linked to memory & foraging). #BeeScience #PAG2026 #PAG33
Halictinae: Hymenoptera > Apoidea > Halictidae. Ground-nesters, primitively eusocial with seasonal castes. Pollinate Asteraceae/Fabaceae, basal in phylogeny (COI/28S data). Key models for insect social evolution.🐝🔬 #BeeScience science🧪

Day nine of our research advent countdown.
Can we protect bees using Bluetooth. A Sheffield PhD student is tracking bumblebees with tiny tags and machine learning to understand where they fly and how they respond to change.
Watch the video to see how this could help pollinator health.
