pan-european assessment, monitoring, and mitigation of stressors on the health of bees
Bees – honey bees, bumble bees, and solitary bees – pollinate crops and wildflowers and are essential for both human and planetary well-being.
However, all around the globe, bees face many threats and are often in decline. While studies suggest that agrochemicals have a negative impact on bee health,
their importance and relevance in the real world remains unclear. PoshBee aims to support healthy bee populations, sustainable beekeeping and pollination across Europe.
