Rogan Tokach

UNL Graduate Student

Rogan Tokach is a current Master's student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln being advised by Drs. Judy Wu-Smart and Autumn Smart. His current research focuses on how a pesticide contaminated environment affects worker bee behavior within the hive and how re-using contaminated resources impacts queen rearing potential. He plans to graduate in December and begin a PhD with Dr. Geoff Williams at Auburn University.

At Auburn, Rogan plans on investigating amitraz resistant Varroa mite populations in commercial honey bee operations in coordination with Dr. Rinkevich and the USDA-ARS lab in Baton Rouge.
