Honey Bee Micro-Nutrition and Pollen with Dr. Ramesh Sagili (308)

  • Résumé

  • Dr. Ramesh Sagili of Oregon State University joins Jeff and Becky to dive deep into the fascinating world of honey bee nutrition and its critical role in hive health. From the complexities of macronutrients and micronutrients to the development of a national pollen nutritional database, Ramesh shares insights from his groundbreaking research. He explains how optimal nutrition not only helps bees combat stressors like Varroa mites and pathogens but also contributes to successful overwintering and queen rearing. The episode also touches on the challenges of studying honey bee nutrition, including the intricate dynamics between larval and adult diets. Ramesh reveals his team’s progress on a nationwide project to assess pollen quality, aiming to provide data-driven recommendations for planting pollinator-friendly habitats. He also offers a glimpse into his European Foulbrood study, linking the disease to poor nutrition during blueberry pollination. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of why “a well-fed bee is a healthy bee” and learn actionable ways to support honey bee health through better forage and habitat management. Whether you’re a backyard hobbyist or a commercial beekeeper, this episode is packed with insights to help you keep your colonies thriving. Listen Today!
