Bees play an essential role in agriculture, providing ecosystem services by crop pollination. Insect pollination increases both crop yield and quality of many food and non-food crops. Though honey bees are the most well-known pollinator, it’s not the only (or even most important) insect pollinator. Other bee species and insects like hoverflies play an at least equally important role.
In Europe, the number of crops depending on pollinators is increasing. Pollinator decline, therefore, puts agricultural productivity at risk. Hence, sustainable practices that protect bees and other pollinators are essential for productive agriculture.
BeeSafe is specialized in bees and bee health. With a number of courses, I help you to get the foundation for developing measures and practices that protect pollinators. And crop yield.
Topics include:
• Bee biology and pollination.
• Bee diversity and definition of protection goals.
• Risk mitigation measures adapted to regions and crops.
• Managed pollinators.
• Habitat for bees.
These topics are covered in webinars as well as in workshops or practical training.

You will learn:
Which crops benefit from bee pollination.
Some bee diversity: it’s not only honey bees, ecosystem services from non-managed pollinators.
Some strategies to encourage pollinators: dos and don'ts
Minimum 5, maximum 20 participants. 1 hour webinar. After the webinar, every participant will get an hour 1:1 online training for remaining questions.

You will learn:
Different risk mitigation measures and which to choose depending on different goals.
How to adapt risk mitigation measures to different environments and why this is necessary.
Some basics on bee biology and pollination.
