Krispn Given studies honey bee biology and breeding, with particular focus on bee defensive behaviors against the Varroa destructor mite, including mandible structure and grooming behavior in 'mite-biting' honey bee stocks. This work combines insect behavior, morphology, and gene expression to understand how honey bee colonies defend themselves against parasitic mites, with applications for beekeeping and queen breeding.

Publication output has been low but sporadically active over the last decade, with occasional small bursts of activity (e.g., 2021, 2023-2024) rather than a steady or clearly growing trend.
