For students

MSc BSc projects

We offer MSc and BSc positions in our lab. We cover wide range of topic, from behavior, selection, honey frauds to honeybee diet, (pato)physiology and technology.

Furthermore, we offer in house advisors and are not picky about your profile - majors and minors. In most cases we can integrate you one way or another in the group. There is caveat, of course: you have to be willing to work. MSc and BSc thesis are student obligations, not supervisors'.

In case you plan graduate studies or to engage in research in your career, you can obtain the oh-so-needed-reference like (co-) authorship on scientific paper in our lab. Some examples of such authorships:

  • Moškrič A, Mole K, Prešern J. 2020. EPIC markers of the genus Apis as diagnostic tools for detection of honey fraud. Food Control, 121: 107634.
  • Prešern J, Kur U, Bubnič J, Šala M. 2020. Lithium contamination of honeybee products and its accumulation in brood as a consequence of anti-varroa treatment. Food Chemistry, 330: 127334.
  • Prešern J, Mihelič J, Kobal M. 2019. Growing stock of nectar- and honeydew-producing tree species determines the beekeepers' profit. Forest Ecology and Management, 448: 490--498

If you are even more ambitious and prove that you can lead a scientific investigation on your own, you might get even a first authorship publication.
