Last year, almost half of the honeybee colonies in the U.S. died, making it the second deadliest year for honeybees on record. The main culprit wasn't climate change, starvation, or even pesticides, but a parasite: Varroa destructor.“The name for this parasite is a very Transformer-y sounding name, but … these Varroa destructor mites have earned this name. It's not melodramatic by any means. [They are] incredibly destructive organisms,” says Dr. Sammy Ramsey, entomologist at the University of Colorado Boulder.These tiny mites feed on the bees and make them susceptible to other threats like diseases and pesticides. They're also highly contagious: They arrived in the US in 1987, and now they live in almost every honeybee colony in the country. Honeybees pollinate many important crops, like apples, peaches, and berries, and their pollinator services add up to billions of dollars.Ramsey and his lab are trying to put an end to the varroa mites' spree. Part of their research includes spying on baby bees and their accompanying mites to learn how the parasites feed on the bees and whether there's a way to disrupt that process.In Boulder, Colorado, SciFri producer Rasha Aridi speaks with Dr. Ramsey and fellow entomologist Dr. Madison Sankovitz about how the varroa mites terrorize bees so effectively, and what it would take to get ahead of them.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

On this episode of The Young Guides Podcast, Keaton and Kyle chat with Jim Speaker. Jim is a passionate angler that combined his interest of insects and fly fishing with a background in programming to create Hatchpedia. Hatchpedia is the result of hours upon hours of research to find photos and descriptions of a myriad of species of insects as they relate to the angler. Fly anglers from all across the country can use the app or web feature to determine what exact insect they are looking at at any given time and be able to more closely match-the-hatch. Jim breaks down how to use Hatchpedia and delves into why the industry needed such a tool.

Four experts from Indiana join us for a conversation on growing peppermint and spearmint for oil. Doug Matthys is a mint farmer in South Bend, Indiana at Shady Lane Farms, a fourth-generation family farm growing mint on about 1000 acres. Dr. Elizabeth Long, Assistant Professor in the Department of Entymology at Purdue University, studies plant-insect interactions to inform IPM strategies in specialty crops, with a focus on the Asiatic garden beetle grub in mint fields. Petrus Langenhoven is a Horticulture and Hydroponic Crop Specialist at Purdue University working on the management of verticillium wilt in mint. Dr. Stephen Meyers, Assistant Professor in the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture at Purdue University, conducts research on weed management strategies in mint.

Skye Blackburn has made an enormous impact in her native Australia with a truly innovative idea: edible insects: Watch this episode on YouTube All episodes: beattheoftenpath.com She combined a lifelong passion for insects with a degree in food science to create a groundbreaking edible insect company. Today, she's educated over a million people about the future of food and the importance of adding new sources like insects to our diets. Her products are already in grocery stores and her insect farms are a marvel of AI, solar power, and general awesomeness. She's proof that the thing that makes you strange might just be your greatest asset.

What’s the buzz? We’re joined this week by our favorite entomology student Nina Devine, who gives us the downlow on some of the bugs that inhabit the Earth. (Get ready to learn a lot of insect superlatives!) Later, enjoy a quiz on computer bugs! . . .

TECH 5 AUG 18 2021 THE ENTYMOLOGY OF WORDS by Hunters Bay Radio

In the latest installment of their Scientist Out Loud series, Dr. Terry McGlynn joins the Lab Out Loud podcast to discuss his research with ants and other insects found in tropical rainforests. Since 1995, Terry has been working out of La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica studying ants as a model system. Instead of the boring ants we might find in North America, these tropical species are far more interesting and can teach us a lot about social interactions, organizing behaviors, and balancing ecosystems. Terry joins co-hosts Brian Bartel and Dale Basler to answer all of their ant questions, describe his path to become a myremocologist, and explain why we should care about ants in the world around us. About the Guest: Dr. Terry McGlynn is a Professor of Biology at Cal State Dominguez Hills and a Research Associate at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. His research program focuses on the experimental natural history of ants. Show notes at: https://laboutloud.com/2021/05/episode-247-ants/

We start with a look at some so-called logos unveiled as a fundraiser and compare them to NASA's logo to see how a real Space Force manages branding. Then Pascual, our resident spider-apologist, schools us on the brown recluse, possibly the most feared spider in America. We'll look into the many things regularly mistaken for recluse bites, as well as why people seem more willing to assume (and advertise) they've been bitten. And we'll also dip into some spidery folklore and urban legends!
