My research is focused on influence of diseases on behavior and physiology of forager honey bees. In the frame of behavior I am interested in orientation and homing ability. I am also investigating the influences of diseases on learning and immune responses of diseased bees. I will extend my researches to the influence of pesticides on behavior and physiology of foragers.
