SUMMARY:November Meeting
DESCRIPTION:TTP Research Update with Fahim Raza - Join us on Tuesday to fin
 d out what the TTP has been up to over this past season. Dr. Fahim's journ
 ey into the world of bees began with an MSc in Agricultural Entomology fro
 m the University of Sargodha\, Pakistan\, where he conducted research on o
 ne of the biggest challenges in beekeeping: Varroa mites. After completing
  his Master's degree\, he was awarded a Chinese government scholarship to 
 pursue a PhD in Agricultural Entomology at Huazhong Agricultural Universit
 y in Wuhan\, China. There\, he shifted his focus to the Oriental fruit fly
  and became particularly interested in the role of gut symbionts in stress
  resistance\, gaining valuable expertise in microbiology research. But som
 ething was buzzing in his mind\; the call of the bees was just too strong 
 to ignore. After finishing his PhD\, Dr. Fahim returned to his passion for
  honey bees and joined the honey bee health lab as a postdoctoral fellow a
 t the department of veterinary pathology\, University of Saskatchewan\, in
  December 2021. Over the course of his 3-year postdoc\, he studied the com
 plexities of American foulbrood disease\, Varroa mites and viruses in hone
 y bee colonies. His research has provided him with a deep understanding of
  North American beekeeping practices and a strong foundation in bee health
  research. Dr. Fahim intends to contribute to the broader beekeeping commu
 nity by sharing his findings and collaborating with researchers\, beekeepe
 rs\, and policymakers to promote sustainable practices and improve honey b
 ee health in British Columbia\n\nMembers with last name ending M - Z\, you
 r turn to bring snacks to share.
