Groundbreaking Research Aims to Save Honey Bees: Scientists Tackle European Foulbrood Disease In a bid to safeguard honey bee populations and address the devastating impact of European foulbrood disease, researchers at Oregon State University, in collaboration with esteemed institutions, have secured a significant $4.2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. European foulbrood disease, a bacterial infection, has emerged as a major threat to honey bees, leading to colony declines and disrupting pollination efforts, particularly for early-season specialty crops. The four-year research project, a collaboration between Oregon State University, Washington State University, University of California, Davis, and Mississippi State University, seeks to unravel the mysteries surrounding the disease and devise effective strategies for mitigation. Understanding the Enigma: European Foulbrood Disease Caused by a bacteria that attacks honey bee larvae, the disease transforms newl...
