First place winner of the photography and microscopy category in the NC State Research Image Contest 2016. Submission from Jonathan Giacomini, an applied ecology doctoral student.
Giacomini: “This is a wild queen bumble bee (Bombus griseocollis) found at the JC Raulston Arboretum this past spring, here in Raleigh. In the Irwin Lab, we are interested in the influence of secondary compounds in both nectar and pollen on bee disease. Often, such compounds are extremely toxic, yet some have been shown to reduce parasite loads in some bumble bees. We have recently expanded our studies to include local wild bumble bees in order to broaden our scope of impacts and coping mechanisms utilized by different bumble bee species. Bumble bees, and other pollinators, are essential to the framework of both agriculture and nature. The importance these tiny creatures represent is astonishing and it’s hard not to appreciate the pure beauty and delicacy of these magnificent creatures.”Combustor Simulation Image.
