Field Season 2016 is underway!

The Gratton lab is back in the field working on projects already this year!  Post-doc Hannah’s project on Apple pollination is underway, and crews have been out at orchards across southern Wisconsin counting flowers, bees, and enjoying the beautiful sites!  Check out the photos and videos below!
