Samuel Ramsey, a leading expert in bee parasite research from the University of Colorado, and his team are conducting months-long studies on parasitic mites affecting honeybees in Jeju. Their findings aim to improve global bee health and human survival.

Bees play a crucial role in pollinating many fruits and vegetables, directly impacting agriculture and food security. However, climate change threatens bee survival by altering flowering times and increasing pest damage. Ramsey’s team studies solutions to protect bees and their shared environment with humans on Jeju Island.
