Maciej Bryś started studies in applied biology at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin. From the beginning of his studies, he was involved and broadened his knowledge in the field of pollen analysis of bee products by actively participating in student scientific circles. In the years 2015-2018, he was a member of the Student Scientific Club of Biologists at the Faculty of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture of the University of Life Sciences in Lublin. He implemented a scientific project co-financed by the European Social Fund under the Knowledge Education Development Operational Program by participating in a non-competitive conceptual project entitled "Best of the best! 4.0.” Currently, Mr. Maciej Bryś is carrying out research as part of his doctoral dissertation and is implementing a project entitled: "Aging-related changes in the systems involved in the immune reactions of bees in the context of pollen monodiet as a key environmental stressor", Project No. UMO-2022/45 /N/NZ9/01333 financed by the National Science Center.

Prof. Aneta Strachecka is currently working as an Professor at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin. She is the Head of the Department of Invertebrate Ecophysiology and Experimental Biology at the Faculty of Environmental Biology of the University of Life Sciences in Lublin. Prof. Aneta Strachecka is the author and co-author of over 80 publications from the JCR list and many others, including popular science ones. She also is the top Editor of the International Insects magazine. She conducts classes on bee physiology for students of various fields and actively shares his knowledge at conferences and industry training, as well as during occasional lectures. Her research work focuses on age-dependent morphological changes in the fat body and glands in bees; characterization of bee immunity mechanisms; the influence of herbs, biostimulants, and drugs on the vitality of bees; and genetic and biochemical characteristics of Varroa destructor mites resistant and sensitive to acaricides.
