Since the Bumble Bee Recovery Program&#8217;s goal is to increase the size of wild bumble bee populations through re-releases&#8230; this very rarely requires a microscope or pipettes, barring some of our fecal sampling efforts.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Usually, we let the Schroeder Lab at the University of Minnesota take care of the \u201cnitty gritty\u201d work \u2013 <strong>each year, we take some of the bees that died throughout the season and send them off to Dr. Schroeder\u2019s lab, where he and his team run RNA sequencing on them, providing us with important information on bee health and possible pathogens and parasites in our bees.<\/strong> This year, we did something different: in March, I flew down to the Twin Cities myself to learn more about how we go from bee to spreadsheet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although I am a biologist, the lab I work in is not what people usually imagine when they think of a science lab. There are no flasks of chemicals, no safety goggles, no lab coats. There is a microscope and a couple of pipettes, but we only got those last year, and they\u2019re kept in a different building. What we have instead is a<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> balmy (swampy) climate, soft buzzing in the background, and some mood lighting: since insects can\u2019t see red light, the lab is lit by red bulbs and headlamps that bring a definite \u201cDr. Frankenstein\u201d vibe to the space. Much to my dismay, I\u2019ve been told my request for a lever I can pull during thunderstorms to reanimate (bee) corpses is \u201cout of budget\u201d and \u201cunethical.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Declan Schroeder\u2019s lab, housed in the labyrinthine Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at the St. Paul campus of University of Minnesota, better fits the stereotype of a modern science lab. The first thing we do upon stepping into the bright, white and chrome lab is locate some spare lab coats \u2013 something I haven\u2019t worn since first-year chemistry labs at university. The ultra-sterile environment makes sense, as the lab specializes in virology, most recently focusing on viruses in the agricultural sector: honey bees and pigs. An errant aerosolized molecule could shut down an apiary (probably). To prevent such tragedies from occurring, <strong>almost all of our work takes place inside two six-foot-long biosafety cabinets.<\/strong> With sliding glass sashes and some kind of vacuum technology, they use constant airflow and filtration to prevent any airborne particles from contaminating the equipment or liquids we\u2019re working with.

Queen bees only live for about one year, and after they have died, the only way to get that sweet, sweet RNA out of them is to break them down. After some physical (and chemical!) breakdown,\u00a0 the rest of the process is adding and removing various chemical reagents in order to isolate that RNA from the rest of the stuff floating around in the soup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s amazing how different the two sides of our work are. <strong>When I go to the lab and look at a shelf of bee colonies, I can get a feel for how well each colony or queen is doing without even taking them off the shelf<\/strong>: healthy colonies are warm, buzzing with workers. Even before workers emerge, and each colony is only a single queen, I can glean some information from her activity level, how much she\u2019s eaten, and her behaviour. Looking down at the plate we\u2019ve prepared, there\u2019s virtually no difference between the 96 wells: each one looks like it contains a drop of water, but really contains the genetic information from a single bee or fecal sample. It is only at the end of the process, when Clarissa generated charts and charts in the sequencing software, that <strong>I remember what we were doing all this for: the bees!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-1838jmy-cb1450f41f9656858ed2d126b8cb5d21 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m8dhawky-620b8378c7f0bd2748f17194379969e0\">\n.avia-image-container.av-m8dhawky-620b8378c7f0bd2748f17194379969e0 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-m8dhawky-620b8378c7f0bd2748f17194379969e0 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-m8dhawky-620b8378c7f0bd2748f17194379969e0 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-15  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img class='wp-image-50101 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-50101 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/MinnesotaBlogBeeWellPlate.png' alt='' title='MinnesotaBlogBeeWellPlate'  height=\"738\" width=\"1019\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-m8dhb7r4-754c5a5a2187734d5284702f74033feb'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>Earlier on in the process, you could at least tell that some samples were from bee bodies (darker in colour) and some were from fecal samples (more clear\/lighter in colour).
