I am an Associate Professor at the Institute of Apicultural Research, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. My research focuses on insect pollination in agricultural systems—why pollinators behave as they do, what benefits they bring to crops, and how to make their services more effective. I study honeybees and bumblebees as managed pollinators, comparing their foraging behavior and pollination efficiency on crops. I also evaluate what pollination delivers beyond yield—using metabolomics to assess fruit quality traits such as sugars, organic acids, and volatile compounds that determine flavor and aroma. On the applied side, I develop attractants and colony management techniques to improve pollination outcomes. At a broader scale, I examine pollination demand and supply trends, particularly how crop expansion is outpacing the growth of managed bee colonies in China and globally. My goal is to bridge basic behavioral ecology and practical pollination management for sustainable agriculture.
