We're interested in collective behavior, nest architecture, social physiology, and how honey bee colonies do what they do.

Nothing says "dinner party" like a large boa constrictor!

Great to have Ummat Somjee @the-bug-hut.bsky.social as the DBS seminar speaker this week.

(btw, we ate tacos, not David Boa)

The Smith Bee Lab is HIRING! 🐝🐝🐝
- Postdoc (2-4yrs, flexible start-date)

No prior experience with honey bees needed, we encourage people from diverse research areas to apply!

Why have ONE party tent, when you can have TWO?!?

(thanks Andrew for snapping the pic!)

So excited to see BEES (and their beautiful nest) on the cover of Current Biology!
@currentbiology.bsky.social

This work wouldn't have been possible without a super team of researchers, and the cover wouldn't have been possible without the phenomenal Peter Marting! @aztecacecropia.bsky.social

I probably should have mentioned this a while ago, but I'm at the Wiko (@wiko-berlin.bsky.social) this fall, on a College for Life Sciences Fellowship!

As you can tell, I've adopted the "Berlin Fashion" particularly well...
