Student Associate

Student Associates are undergraduate or graduate students who are supervised or co-supervised by a BEEc Faculty Associate. Their contribution to research and BEEc activities by attending, participating in and/or supporting the organization of workshops, conferences and other events, drives BEEc’s ability to create a hub of bee research.

Industry Associate

Industry Associates are often active in the field, working directly (in a paid or otherwise capacity) with a government agency, relevant industry, or non-profit organization. This membership category recognizes the importance of the community outside of academia in supporting the mandate of BEEc (based on affiliation with a research project or activity).
