I am an Egyptian PhD student at Newcastle University and a mom for 7 years old daughter. In general, I am interested in learning more about honey bees and their amazing behavior. Being a mom I am also interested in inspiring young children to complete their education and also to appreciate bees pollinating services. To do this, I am also a STEM Ambassador.

My work is where I freely breath; it is my joyful time! Because I love bees I enjoy doing research to save them. Their behavior is very unique and beautiful that fascinated me to study them.What the public know about bees is that they produce honey, but actually without bees we would not have one third of the food that we eat! Yes, bees are the super hero insect that brings most of the pants into existence for our delectation and delight besides producing honey, royal jelly and wax. Bees are considered as an endangered species because of the extensive use of pesticides, changing climate, habitat loss, parasites, and poor nutrition. My main PhD question is understanding the role of b-vitamins in honey bee: survival, development and nutrient regulation.
