Pollination Ecologist & Contributing Writer
Dr. Elena Marsh is a pollination ecologist and contributing writer at Pollination Network, where she covers the science, economics, and practice of managed and wild pollinator systems. Her background spans field research on crop pollination services and several seasons working directly with commercial beekeeping operations during almond, apple, and berry bloom.
Elena's writing focuses on translating pollination research into practical guidance for farmers and beekeepers — from hive placement and colony health strategy to habitat restoration and the economics of pollination contracts. She is particularly interested in how diversified pollination systems, combining managed honey bees with wild and native pollinators, can build resilience into modern food production.
