BeeScience 2 – SC2 Ecology and bee pastures – MD – Chisinau
The third conference will open a discussion on the serious issue of bee pastures. Bees for their live require thousands of flowering plant species to obtain pollen for their nutrition and nectar for honey production. By harvesting pollen and nectar at the same time, they provide the pollination process of plants, thus the irreplaceable environmental services for nature and agriculture. The cultivation of cultural plant species in monocultures on large areas with the use of agro-pesticides rapidly reduces areas of wild-growing species. Therefore, there is a serious problem that bees don´t have enough flowering plants for pollen and nectar collection. This problem can be resolved by plant breeding, multiplication and growing of new plant species as producers. The conference program will address the following issues: effect of monocultures, GMO plants, application of agro-pesticides to health status and bees condition; selection, plant breeding, multiplication, cultivation technology and expansion of new plant species to improve bee pastures. The conference will take place in Moldova.At the conference leading scientists from project partner countries, as well as from other countries will prepare and present at least 8 lectures. At least 80 beekeepers and representatives of other target groups are actively involved in each conference. The aim of each conference is to create a live discussion and confront the views and knowledge of scientists and beekeepers about the presented topics at lectures. The conference participants will anonymously evaluate lectures presented by lecturers according to forms.
