BES-Net TT

We aim to conserve and better manage pollinators and pollination services in Trinidad and Tobago via improving science, policy and practice.

[BES-Net TT @besnet_tt]

We are taking steps towards improving communication between #Meliponini #beekeepers in #TrinidadandTobago by providing a discussion forum for persons interested in keeping these bees. Join us in the discussions by emailing your info to [email protected]

Do you keep stingless bees?

Would you like to meet other #Meliponini #beekeepers and contribute to a guidance document for Meliponini beekeeping?

Email us at [email protected] to participate this upcoming weekend!

@shribasavaraja1 They shouldn't, more than likely they'll attempt to repair the damage

Meet our #pollinator #superheroes! Pollinators support the majority of natural processes that maintain human wellbeing, and are certainly superheroes to us.

We'd love to hear your thoughts on what we should name them!

[BES-Net TT @besnet_tt]

@shribasavaraja1 They do repair hives to some extent, but it does leave them vulnerable to pests such as phorid flies once there are openings.

Of the 1,400 crop plants grown around the world, almost 80% require #pollination by animals 🐝🌸🦇

An @FAO inforgraphic highlights the importance, at the forest and landscape scales, of employing pollination-friendly management practices: https://t.co/q2Hn7Jmhjb #ForNature
