Bees without Borders Lecture by Bigna Zellweger: The diverse immune system of honey bees and what humans have to do with it

11. January 2023 @ 19:00 - 20:30 CET

Bigna-Zellweger

Honey bees have developed a wide variety of defence strategies against pathogens during their millions of years of evolution. Many of them work thanks to the honey bees’ social way of life. What do these strategies look like, what does the natural habitat, the tree cavity in the forest, contribute to the bees’ health and why does our current way of life counteract many of these developments?

The conference will be held in German, recorded and made available on our YouTube channel.

Short biography of Bigna Zellweger:
Together with her family and a dog, Bigna (43) lives in the small mountain village of Tenna in the pristine Safiental (GR). She is a qualified beekeeper and zoologist as well as a companion for the dying. People and animals – especially bees – enrich her life very much. She is currently setting up a Zeidler project in Tenna.
