SUMMARY:International Conference on Pollinator Biology\, Health\, and Policy 2026
DESCRIPTION:The International Conference on Pollinator Biology\, Health\, and Policy will feature presentations and discussions on topics critical to insect pollinator health. Symposium subjects include the impacts of pathogens and pesticides on pollinators\, pollinator nutrition\, the effects of abiotic factors on pollinator health\, and land management strategies and policies that benefit pollinators. Ongoingnational and global initiatives in policy\, education\, and Extension will also be highlighted. \nThis conference will bring together individuals from universities\, government agencies\, industry\, non-profit organizations\, and several stakeholder groups to engage in a dialogue about the research\, management\, conservation\, and policy approaches that are required to ensure insect pollinator health.  \nNotification of abstract acceptance in March\, on-campus housing registration available March 9\, registration for June 28 Yellowstone Park Trip will be open to friends and family on May 1 (if it is not full)\, and the conference schedule will be available online in April.
