The purpose of the BYU Apiology academic association is to use the practice of bee keeping as a vehicle for educating students about the collage of intellectual traditions related to the effort, including topics such as ecology and symbiosis, entomology, eusocial insect behavior, compound eyes and insect vision, engineering and neurobiology of insect flight, the linguistics of non-human communication, anthropology of beekeeping societies and the cultural impact of bees, culinary history of honey, pollination and its impact on the economics of agriculture, environmental sensors, the mathematics of swarm optimization, and insect-inspired algorithms.
