The impr oper disposal practice caused unprecedented pesticide exposure risk and contamination in the surrounding air\, water\, soil\, and plants. Expose d colonies have had disruptions in worker behaviors and queen rearing ca pacity. Furthermore\, adverse impacts may linger with contaminated comb and food stores. This isolated problem has provided unique opportunities to examine the short and long-term ecological\, environmental\, and hum an health impacts through a collaborative One Health systems approach wh ich has generated more awareness and stimulated legislative policy chang es across the US.\n\n\n\nDr. Judy Wu-Smart (Associate Professor &\; E xtension Specialist) received her MS at Washington State University unde r the advisement of Drs. Steve Sheppard and Carol Anelli and a PhD from University of Minnesota with Dr. Marla Spivak. She has been the director of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Bee Lab since 2015. At UNL\, she and her team have been developing a robust pollinator health program for the Midwest region to help beekeepers\, scientists\, policy makers\, an d land managers understand the underlying stressors challenging bee heal th\, such as improper management of pests and diseases and exposure to p esticides. Community engagement and promoting science literacy around th ese complicated farm-to-table issues are also key components of our rese arch and extension education programs.\n\n\n\nTo find more about our pro grams and training opportunities visit https://entomology.unl.edu/bee-la b and https://gpmb.unl.edu/ or follow us on Facebook. \n\n\n\n\nBreak &\; Door Prizes\n\n\n\nTake a moment to stretch your legs\, grab a re freshment\, and participate in our raffle.
