Cafe Scientifique

April Topic: Honeybees & Human Health
What can we learn about human health from honeybees? And how can we keep honeybees healthy along the way? University of Minnesota Entomologist Marla Spivak and research partners in Horticulture Science, Jerry Cohen and Gary Gardner, think they may have found one answer to those questions. Among other things, they are researching a possible connection between propolis, a plant-derived resin that honeybees deposit in their nest, and an antidote to human HIV. Join Spivak as she gives us the buzz about bees.

The Bell Museum's Caf Scientifique is a happy hour exchange of ideas about science, environment, and popular culture featuring experts from a variety of fields on diverse and often provocative topics. For more information visit bellmuseum.org
