Bio

Julia Fine:

USDA-ARS Bee Lab @ UC Davis

​

I currently work in a new facility in Davis, CA where I research insect toxicology and pollinator health. My most recent publication is 'Quantifying the effects of pollen nutrition on honey bee queen egg laying with a new laboratory system.' I am currently involved in a project to develop new methods to study, collect, and rear honey bee eggs under laboratory conditions to facilitate controlled experiments on the effects of stressors on reproduction and development.
