Ten Years at the OSU Honey Bee Lab!

The OSU Honey Bee Lab is celebrating its 10^th anniversary under the leadership of Dr. Ramesh Sagili. The lab has grown in many ways: research, extension, staff, and most importantly, collaboration with Oregon beekeepers of all shapes and sizes. Share memories with us as we present a slideshow of the lab’s activities over the past 10 years.

Since 2009, Carolyn Breece has been a research assistant at the Oregon State University Honey Bee Lab (Go Beavs!). She studied mosquitos at UO (Go Ducks!) and bark beetles at Northern Arizona University. She is also a committee member, Journey student, and mentor for the Oregon Master Beekeeper Program. In addition to managing OSU’s apiary of 60 colonies, she has 8 colonies of her own and sells her honey (Honey, I Love You!) to her sister’s fitness club. When not in bees, you can find Carolyn and her son, Simon, hunting for mushrooms, clams, and mussels, fishing, hiking, or suffering through one of Simon’s killer track workouts.
