Science Café presents: “SAVING BEES BY KILLING THEM!” 7 p.m. Jan. 31 The Venue @ Thirsty’s, 2704 Vine The honey bee is a significant agricultural tool that is suffering from many factors that lead to colony collapse, and&nbsp;the overall death of arguably the world’s most important pollinator.

This science café is outlining parasitisation of the honey bee,&nbsp;which is just one of the factors that may lead to colony collapse. Here we outline the research being done at FHSU into&nbsp;the mitigation of parasites, which starts with isolation and production of genetic “poisons.”

Presenter:&nbsp;Mr. James Balthazor PhD, Fort Hays State University,&nbsp; Associate Prof Chemistry, K-INBRE Campus Coordinator Sponsored by Science and Mathematics Education Institute
