Maggie is the Regional Bee Inspector for Wales and her talk will look at integrated pest management for varroa and the complexities of ‘treatment free’ beekeeping.
Maggie has worked for the National Bee Unit since 2014 working as a Seasonal Bee Inspector prior to taking up her current role. She has kept bees since 2007 and has an interest in honey bee research. This interest has led her to work with the National Botanic Garden of Wales to look at how nectar resources affect pollinator assemblages, and to carry out research for the NBU in Thailand looking into monitoring for Tropilaelaps and potential transmission routes. Maggie is also currently working with the US military and University of Maryland on monitoring volatile organic compounds in colonies to detect sub clinical levels of disease and environmental contamination.
Many beekeepers are interested in becoming treatment free and Maggie’s talk will help us to understand what is required for this to be achieved successfully.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
