The Department of Biology investigates a wide range of research questions across the vast disciplines of the biological sciences.
Our interdisciplinary faculty have research interests in areas ranging from single cells to entire systems and questions ranging
from why we need sex to the origin of diseases at the cellular level. We invite you to explore our website to learn more about
our outstanding faculty and their research.
As a research department in an academic institution the teaching of future scientists is, and has always been one of our
priorities. Our graduate research program trains scientists for careers in academia, industry and government. Our undergraduate
students gain a firm foundation in modern biological sciences to prepare them for a multitude of careers that depend on a solid
understanding of biology. All students have an opportunity to participate in research areas through our graduate and
undergraduate programs. Welcome to Biology!

Hendrix discusses bee-colony collapse
SOUTH AMANA -- Up to 40,000 worker bees bustle in one nightstand-sized hive at Nobel Bee Honey.
That healthy buzz hasn't been the norm in recent years because of colony collapse disorder.
"We've never had a problem like this when I started in the 1990s," owner Matt Stewart said of the phenomenon, first identified in the United States' bee population in 2006. "Ones with the disease, they're leaving. They're going off to die somewhere."
