Last month, Salena Husband gave an insightful talk at the IUSSI Central European Meeting held in Szeged, Hungary
Her presentation, “Quality over quantity? Helianthus annuus hybrid nutrients shape Bombus terrestris colony development”, highlighted key findings from the HelEx project on how sunflower floral nutrition influences bumble bee colony health and development.
This work reminds us that the future of crop breeding isn’t just about yield but also about supporting biodiversity and pollinator well-being.
👏Thank you to the organizers and audience for the engaging discussion and warm welcome.
