The Buzz Around Digital Agriculture
“It wasn’t until a family friend took me beekeeping that I got hooked,” recalled Brock Harpur, assistant professor of entomology. “It happened as soon as I put on the suit, opened up the colony and saw the life inside. It’s pretty remarkable what you can see inside of a honey bee colony as a scientist.”
Harpur’s fascination with bees did not develop until college, yet his interest in biology was deep-seated. “British Columbia is a pretty fantastic place to live as a kid,” shared Harpur. “There’s a lot to do outdoors, so that’s what I tended to do. I spent a lot of time looking at insects. I really loved ants. I could hike along a trail and see all of the little ground nesting ants, their trails and foraging patterns.”
