OSU Honey Bee Lab

The OSU Honey Bee Lab will have a mobile lab available at the conference on Saturday and Sunday. The lab is to be set up in the Exhibitor Area. Stop by and take a look! The OSU team can tell you about current research projects and extension events. Honey bee samples may be dropped off for Varroa and/or Nosema analysis to be completed within 1–2 weeks after the conference.

Collecting Samples for Analyses

Please collect live bees in a leak-proof container, place in freezer to kill, then deliver frozen or in alcohol. Please carefully label your sample with sample date, location, and hive identifier, and e-mail address.
