John J. Ternest studies the interactions between insect pollinators (especially bees) and crops, with a strong focus on blueberry pollination. His work examines how different bee species affect fruit and seed quality, how flower traits and nectar attract pollinators, and how pesticide use and farm management practices can be adjusted to protect pollinators while maintaining crop yields.
Publication output was minimal before 2021 but has grown substantially since, with the most active years (2021, 2023-2024) producing 6-7 papers, suggesting an increasing publication pace over the last five years.
