In the past 20 years, honeybee populations have declined dramatically, as demand for their services continues to increase. Beekeepers need new tools to mitigate health issues with their bees. Dr. Cook is the co-founder and Chief Science Officer of HiveTech Solutions. With support from the USDA, they are developing methods for over-wintering honeybees more effectively and for better understanding of how individual- and colony-level physiology changes with over-wintering strategies. https://thecooklab.org/teaching daily 0.75 2023-03-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1669918441162-8M8K3DMUI66254CGUFSV/2022-05+Neurobiology+Lab_141.jpg Teaching & Mentoring https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1665633032168-J0RYL5CPMAY7OL8273NE/unsplash-image-rRDHlkSyoxY.jpg Teaching & Mentoring https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/7914b853-bea7-4cd3-9180-a70e6f5f5adc/unsplash-image-w1FwDvIreZU.jpg Teaching & Mentoring - High School Students I conduct workshops with high school students that do these things. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1e524c0a-c012-4e0a-93a3-960cd3195964/unsplash-image-fkJVXlp7bmM.jpg Teaching & Mentoring - undergraduate I teach these courses regularly, and my students teach these courses too https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/dfd50f22-7c02-4233-8029-de38f6960424/unsplash-image-RIcMwDLk1wo.jpg Teaching & Mentoring - graduate students I teach these courses regularly, and my students teach these courses too https://thecooklab.org/engagement daily 0.75 2025-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1554138619968-587RGKNOZNY5WQ2EPTTB/ChelseaBeekeeping1.JPG Outreach & Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1565889231490-S9NLC11JI1SGQ1X3ZG5P/Picture1.png Outreach & Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1565889256267-AEYYRJVQ2WIF6OJKD2RM/Picture2.png Outreach & Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1669917109362-S1W09MOUBZEYSSOH67GR/Image+from+iOS+%2816%29.jpg Outreach & Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1669917270075-3T5MD8VLMC8K7YIOJD70/IMG_3418.jpg Outreach & Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1669959175033-HPRE6ZFE85FRASVZ75HF/Image%2Bfrom%2BiOS%2B%252818%2529.jpg Outreach & Engagement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1744321261709-N2ES0QW1JYEL3B1ZJI5T/unsplash-image-eOpewngf68w.jpg Outreach & Engagement - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://thecooklab.org/social-environment daily 0.75 2022-11-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1553374491226-P47XOT478DKCE0VSMSXJ/image-asset.jpeg Social environment | Cook Lab https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1570129267420-DIGKXVZ53LQHBOUTZC9O/image-asset.jpeg Social environment | Cook Lab - Collective Fanning Behavior Honey bees work together to cool their colony. They perform a behavior called fanning, where they stand at the entrance of the colony and fan their wings to circulate air. Ideally, this keeps the colony below 95F, above which developing larvae can die. Fanning behavior provides an ideal system to disentangle the interactions between social and environmental information, and how that information is valued and communicated between individuals to elicit the collective response. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1570129347334-83BRL4BF0CF4XGP5CDNE/image-asset.jpeg Social environment | Cook Lab - Collective Foraging Behavior Honey bee colonies collect thousands of pounds of nectar and pollen to sustain themselves. As individual bees forage, they learn various characteristics about the flowers they visit, such as odor and color. How individuals learn changes how the colony makes foraging decisions. I integrate lab techniques from experimental psychology with field techniques from behavioral ecology to understand how individuals learn and communicate information that scales to collective decisions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1578363219416-04FQD3MW19KMLFBT0371/ChelseaFeedingBee2018.jpg Social environment | Cook Lab Chelsea feeding a harnessed bee.

My most recent work shows that colonies make different foraging decisions when they are comprised of different populations of attention-focusing bees. It was recently published in PNAS! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1570116712732-TE7VG09PKTMQEBENBBEO/image-asset.jpeg Social environment | Cook Lab - 02. Foraging honey bees often divide labor between scout honey bees that look for new food sources and recruited honey bees that revisit known flowers. I found that scouts exhibit a behavior called “latent inhibition” and are able to learn to ignore familiar odors in the lab better than recruited bees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c8e9b233560c34f907074a8/1570116764240-1ZPU86QQ8Q4ORTR3EMVV/image-asset.jpeg Social environment | Cook Lab - 03. Groups of honey bees anticipate rapid temperature changes better than small groups or isolated bees.
