Plenary Lecturer

Dr. Jeff PETTIS

Dr. Jeff Pettis is a Research Entomologist at the United States Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Research Service (USDA-ARS) located in Beltsville, Maryland. Dr. Pettis is conducting extensive research on honey bee health and the management of honey bee pests and diseases. Dr. Pettis' experience and position place him coordinating the research on Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) with other researchers, to reveal the causes of North American bee population decline. He and his colleagues had found that pesticides including imidacloprid could cause synergistic effect on honeybee health decline.

Dr Pettis is serving as a vice president of Bee health commission in Apimondia, and also working as CLA on the global assessment of pollinator and pollination service for food production in IPBES.

Dr. Lucas Alejandro GARIBALDI

Dr. Lucas Alejandro Garibaldi is a Professor at the Univ. of Río Negro (UNRN) and Researcher of the National Scientific Research Council of Argentina (CONICET). Both positions at San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina. As you know I am CLA at IPBES and Consultant for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on pollinator initiative. I am also part of the Editorial board of “Basic and Applied Ecology” and “Ecología Austral”

Education: Engineer Agronomist, College of Agronomy, Univ. of Buenos Aires (FAUBA).

PhD on Agronomic Science, Graduate School, FAUBA, Argentina.

Prof.Dowon LEE

LEE Dowon is a professor of ecology in Graduate School of Environmental Studies, Seoul National University, Korea. He has studied and taught ecology-and biogeochemistry-related subjects at the scales of ecosystem and landscape. For the past decade, in particular, he has worked on traditional ecology of Korea, seeking for ecological knowledge and practices embedded in remaining traditional landscapes, old maps, paints, written documents, oral stories, and other forms of relics. He led an editorial board to publish an English-written book, entitled “Ecology of Korea (2002)”, and edited two Korean-written books, entitled “Traditional Ecology of Korea I & II (2004 & 2008).” He authored many books in Korean, for example, entitled “Landscape Ecology (2001),” “Ecological Knowledge and Practices Embedded in Traditional Korean Landscapes (2003),” and “Ecological Implications of Landscape Elements in Traditional Korea Villages (2004),” and coauthored a book in Korean with English abstract, entitled “Ecosystem Services of Traditional Village Groves in Korea (2007).” He published many English-written scientific papers and book

chapters related to ecosystems, landscapes, and ecological concepts. He was honored with the 1990 Wesley W. Honor Award from American Society of Civil Engineering for a research paper of hydrology, published in Journal of Environmental Engineering in 1989, and with the 45th Korean Paeksang Book Culture Award from Hankook Ilbo in 2005 for a book, entitled

“Traditional Ecology of Korea.” A book, entitled “Traditional Ecology and Pungsujiri,” was designated one of 2013 excellent academic books by Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourisms. The book was compiled, based on a seminar which he organized.

Bees and Bee Problems: Are we our own worst enemy?

Jeff Pettis

USDA-ARS Bee Research Lab. Beltsville, MD USA

Honey bees have had a long association with human management and are moved around the globe for honey, wax and pollination. As with any animal, the attempt to domesticate the honey bee has lead to an increase in pests and diseases as we crowd bee colonies together in apiaries. Further, we move species to new areas and cause host shifts such as Varroa mite to occur that bring more problems for all beekeepers. We have disrupted the natural balance between pests, diseases and the natural defense mechanisms of bees. In nature, the average distance between hives is often great and the chances of disease or pest spread is thus reduced. Additionally, secondary pests like wax moth can eliminate abandoned hives and further reduce the spread of some diseases, such as American foulbrood. Two case studies will be discussed to illustrate how we as beekeepers have made our problems more severe: the first case will be that of the interaction between wax moths, American foulbrood scales in old comb and the spread of AFB; the second case will be to examine the current and future spread of small hive beetle around the globe in honey bees but also the threat that SHB poses to other species like stingless bees and bumblebees. Lessons can be learned by comparing and contrasting these two examples to illustrate things we may be able to change in beekeeping to reduce the impact or pests and diseases. It is especially important that we learn from mistakes of the past and find better ways to manage all species of honey bees around the globe.
