Discovery Projects
Grant Activity:
A complex systems approach to preventing colony failure in honey bees
Purpose:
This project aims to use complex systems science to detect and prevent colony collapse in honey bees while advancing knowledge of tipping points in complex social systems. Understanding the mathematics of colony collapse can help us develop strategies for safeguarding managed bee populations and the valuable pollination services they provide. Expected outcomes include methods for the early detection of stress in colonies, methods for reversing declines, and new mathematical techniques for studying tipping points in complex social systems. This will provide significant benefits for Australian agriculture, much of which depends on bee pollination, while building scientific capacity in complex systems science.
