Dr. Sagili is an entomology professor at Oregon State University.
He'll speak about the pesky little Sap Beetle that eats our pollen frames.
"I first noticed sap beetle larva chewing through pollen frames about 10 years ago. They turn the contents of pollen cells into a fine sawdust.
Let's find out more about this pest.
Is it a native, or an invader from abroad?
Is it something to fret about?
How can we protect our frames?
Are they a threat to our colonies or just an annoyance?
What are they good for in the environment?".
