guest speaker profile
Dr. Kirsten Traynor
Research Scientist
Flickerwood Apiary (Maryland, U.S.)
In 2006-2007, Kirsten received a German Chancellor Fellowship & drove over 50,000
miles throughout Western Europe to study the differences between European and
American beekeeping. She reported her findings through 50+ articles. Fascinated with
the social complexity of a honey bee hive, she earned her PhD in biology from Arizona
State University with Dr. Robert Page. While a grad student, she spent almost a year in
Avignon, France in the lab of Dr. Yves Le Conte as a Fulbright Fellow. She investigates
how pesticides impact honey bee health as a postdoc and was editor of American Bee
Journal. She is the author of Two Million Blossoms: Discovering the Medicinal Benefits of
Honey and Simple, Smart Beekeeping. She manages an apiary producing top quality
nucs and Maryland reared queens. Using the biology of the bee against the biology of
the Varroa mite, she keeps her colonies healthy without synthetic chemicals.
