File #005: Bee Health Brief with Breven Stark

Honeybees are more than just pollinators—they’re patients. In this episode of The Vet Files, we open the case on honeybee veterinary medicine: how veterinarians are stepping into the apiary, what makes bee medicine unique, and why the health of a colony matters for agriculture, ecosystems, and beyond. From veterinary feed directives to hands-on hive care, we uncover the growing role of vets in protecting pollinators. We are joined by Breven Stark from University of Illinois- Urbana Champaign!
