January Webinar The European Hornet with Prof Steve Martin
In January, we welcome Prof Stephen Martin, a familiar face to those who attended our convention. Prof Martin shall be discussing our native hornet, the European Hornet.
Stephen has studied social insects (bees, wasps, termites and ants) for most of his career. His areas of specialisation are the ‘hornet ecology’, ‘pest and diseases of honeybees’ and ‘chemical ecology of ants’. He holds a Chair in Social Entomology in the School of Environmental and Life Sciences at Salford University, Manchester. Prior to that, he spent 12 years working at Sheffield University, 7 years with the National Bee Unit and 7 years in Japan conducting research into hornets.
Our webinars are free to SBA members and £2 for Non-Members.
