Team

Our team at Macquarie University brings together diverse skills to tackle all aspects of this project. Dr Théotime Colin will design control prototypes, lead the experimental program, and manage delivery to beekeepers. Dr Cornelia Sattler will lead beekeeper consultations and field days, while Casey Forster will work on field trials and evaluate control methods. Dr Ryan Warren from the University of Tasmania will test treatments in the absence of varroa and in the cooler Tasmanian climate. Professor Andrew Barron will mentor the team, manage collaborations, and apply his expertise in bee biology to guide the project.
