People really like bees: update from the WSU Insight article on bee evolution

2/2/2024

0 Comments

 
Last summer, I wrote about the experience of being interviewed by our CAHNRS (College of Ag + more) media writer, Seth Truscott. He's informed us that the news article ended as #7 across all WSU stories in the top research coverage of 2023.
It's great -- lots of people are interested in bees! And it turns out that lots and lots of people are interested in whisky, too ... that was the #1 research article coverage out of WSU.

The summary on the WSU site (screenshot and link to the right) states: 
​Despite the occasional sting, bees are probably one of the most helpful to humans providing crop pollinating services and honey. Given that sweet deal, it isn’t surprising that a new discovery in the bee-origin story, led in part by WSU entomologist Silas Bossert, captured the human imagination. The story branched out from archeological curiosity to reach more than 200 mainstream outlets.
