This post Bee-Friendly Breakthrough: Improved Method Eases Study of Small Pollen Samples, Collected Nonlethally appeared first on Entomology Today - Brought to you by the Entomological Society of America.
Acetolysis, a common method for pollen processing and identification, has typically required large samples, but researchers at North Dakota State University have developed an improved technique that makes acetolysis feasible with even the smallest of pollen samples collected from individual, live bees. The advance could allow researchers to study a broader range of bee species more closely.
