Welcome to the webpages for the Bee Disease Modelling Project funded under the
Insect Pollinators Initiative (IPI).
For further information on all of the funded projects please see the

The three year project that Fera is leading is entitled 'Modelling systems for managing bee disease: the epidemiology of European foulbrood' in will be completed in partnership with Dr Ed Feil at the University of Bath, Professor Stephen Rushton at Newcastle University and Professor Matt Keeling at the University of Warwick.
Fera and the NBU are also collaborating with other organisations in two other projects 'Sustainable pollination services for UK crops' lead by Dr Koos Biesmeijer at the University of Leeds and 'Linking agriculture and land use change to pollinator populations' lead by Professor Bill Kunin also at the University of Leeds.
