Chia Lin’s research revolves the health and dynamics of pollinators in human-altered landscapes, with an emphasis on pollinators in agricultural systems. She works closely with farmers and beekeepers to identify research priorities and explore management strategies that promote pollinator health.  Her current work includes (1) investigating the role of soybean blooms in supporting honey bee productivity and improving yield; (2) evaluating the effects of cover crops and conservation easements on pollination services to cash crops; (3) documenting key floral resources for honey bees in Ohio’s agricultural landscapes; and (4) advancing pollinator-friendly management strategies in the corn-soybean agroecosystems.
