Organised by the Cromar Future Group in conjunction with the University, a series of talks through 2016/2017 held in the MacRobert Hall, Tarland
A third of our food is dependent on insect pollinators but there is a global honeybee crisis threatening our food security. Dr Alan Bowman is an expert on those nasty pests that affect us and our pets (ticks) or our food production (sea lice and varroa mite). His talk will explore the full range of problems affecting our bees, whether environmental, pest related, farming practices, pesticide and quite a few more as well. As normal, there will also be a question and answer session after the talk.
Talks are open to anyone who would like to attend and the speakers aim to make them accessible to all, whether or not you have any background in science. We follow the relaxed Café Scientifique format : Introduction, talk (up to 45 mins), short break, Q&A session.
£4 entry to talks for adults, but age under 18 get in free. Children must be accompanied by an adult. All events are in the MacRobert Hall, Tarland and start at 7.30 pm unless a holiday workshop or otherwise indicated.
Putting the Café into our Café Scientifique talks are Caroldson’s barristas – so come early and enjoy their excellent coffee and cakes.
