Proud to support @BeeLifeEU and European partners in developing this vital roadmap.🐝
Coordinated action at the European Union level is absolutely critical to safeguard pollinators, sustain beekeepers and protect our ecosystem.
Read the full brief below! ⬇️

[BeeLife @BeeLifeEU]

⚠️ ⚠️ Invasive #hornets are becoming a growing challenge for #pollinators, #beekeepers and #foodsystems. A BeeLife roadmap, co-signed by @COPACOGECA, @apimondia, EPBA, and supported by @BTHENETProject calls for stronger control methods at EU level. https://t.co/delIuuaxm6

[B-THENET @BTHENETProject]

@BeeLifeEU @COPACOGECA @apimondia Coordinated action is the only way to manage invasive hornets effectively across the continent. We are proud to have supported BeeLife and our fellow international partners in developing this vital roadmap to safeguard European pollinators and food systems.

[B-THENET @BTHENETProject]

Exploring beekeeping knowledge just got easier!

Our new platform directory guides you smoothly from core pillars like Good Practices & Biosecurity down to specific tasks like Varroa assessment, all adapted locally in 13 European languages! 🌍🐝
