Congratulations to Adam Bourne (MSc EA) and Katerina Elger (MSc EEC), former Master’s students in the lab, on the acceptance of their paper investigating how nutritional supplementation influences Nosema infections in honey bees. The study found that dietary supplements increased both parasite loads and mortality in infected bees, demonstrating that nutritional interventions can sometimes unintentionally benefit pathogens. We are delighted to see this MSc research develop into a published study and congratulate Adam and Katerina on this achievement.
