Lauren Roberts of the Trenton FFA Chapter in Florida gained the inspiration for her research project when she gave a speech in the seventh grade about the declining honey bee population. The goal of her research was to find a feasible plant- and bee-safe repellent that would keep bees away from pesticide-sprayed crops. She eventually narrowed it down to three nonlethal repellents. Roberts is supported by her parents, Franne and Jason, and her FFA advisor, Ashley Thoron. Sponsored by National FFA Foundation & National FFA Organization.
