The small hive beetle is a pest of honey bees, but it can also be deployed in beneficial ways. New research shows small hive beetles can be reared on excess pollen, and their pupae and frass can be converted into animal feed and biomanure. buff.ly/jN0ilVY

Thrilled to see my paper published in the Journal of Economic Entomology! We developed the first economic thresholds for the lesser clover leaf weevil in red clover seed production in Canada. doi.org/10.1093/jee/toaf290 @USaskEnt @EntsocAmerica @agbiousask #Entomology #IPM #cdnag

New research offers red clover growers a trap-based method to combat the lesser clover leaf weevil, reducing insecticide use while protecting pollinators. 👉 @Jeremyirvine has the details: ow.ly/wNtz50WxJki #westcdnag #entomology

Red clover growers have been asking for better tools- @JeremyIrvine is helping make that happen. #Entomology #AgTwitter
I always find it fascinating to hear about up and coming research. @Jeremyirvine has been working to combat a weevil that does a number on red clover fields. Trap-based approach targets lesser clover leaf weevil youtu.be/JthFblliFvI?si=KHLY… via @YouTube @realagriculture

Good Bugs, Bad Bugs by @EntSocSK is such a hit with @aitcsk each year, they asked @USaskEnt lab of @usaskplsc to bring a specialized talk on #bees and #pollination

I am looking for a postdoc to join a large project sampling plants and soils from across Canadian prairies to identify genomic indicators (plant genotypes, eDNA, soil biome) of ecosystem function. This person would work with the team to integrate data, with significant latitude.

Don't forget to stop by our symposium to learn about leafhopper research at ESA 2024. We got amazing early career speakers such as @Edel_PLopez and myself! @ECP_Entsoc @EntsocAmerica
