A new episode of Bug Talk, the Department of Entomology’s podcast, is now available. The series features conversations with researchers, students and professionals across the field of entomology, highlighting the people and science shaping insect research and outreach.
In this episode, we talk with Dr. Sue Stejskal about her work training dogs like Maple, a retired police K‑9, to detect honeybee diseases such as American foulbrood. We also discuss how this unique collaboration supports beekeepers, advances pollinator health research and gives dogs a second career in science.
