Ireland's Median Rainfall in January 1850-2014

This is my final project from Data Science II while on my way to achieving my undergraduate degree at Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania. This project was a group effort, and I got permission from my partner to publish this project.

Bumble bees face numerous environmental stressors, including gut-parasite infection and exposure to agricultural fungicides. This study evaluates the interactive effects of these stressors on bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) microcolonies, focusing on colony development, worker survival, and parasite infection dynamics. Our aim in evaluating these interactions, was to determine if bees would experience synergistic negative health outcomes compared to single stressor exposures. We reared forty queenless bumble bee microcolonies, and treated them with either fungicide-contaminated pollen, inoculation with a gut parasite, both, or neither. Contrary to original expectations, we did not observe significant synergistic interactions between the two stressors, however we found that consumption of fungicide was associated with higher likelihood of gut-parasite infection, and delayed recovery from infection. Fungicide consumption was also connected to smaller workers, and smaller male offspring. We also found that gut-parasite infection was correlated with decreased pollen consumption overall, decreased worker survival, and fewer developed pupae. This study provides insights into the complexities of stressor interactions affecting bumble bees and emphasizes the importance of sublethal effects on pollinator health.
