Opportunities for insecticide resistant honey bees for pollination security
This project will study the potential of using emerging technologies for genetic engineering to introduce beneficial traits into bees and provide recommendations to the Australian horticulture industries on which may be technically feasible, desirable to farmers, environmentally sound, allowed by existing regulatory frameworks, and publicly acceptable.
Recommendations will be developed by an interdisciplinary group of biologists and social scientists directly engaging with stakeholders and reviewing the latest scientific literature.
