When it comes to invasive species in beekeeping (not including Varroa mite which invaded Europe a long time ago), we think about small hive beetle, the yellow leg Asian hornet and the tropilelaelaps mite. Beekeepers spend a considerable amount of time and money to fight them, there is a huge economic impact of these invasions. Scientists try to develop new appropriate management approaches, but without knowing the exact current or future impact is not possible to determine or develop the level of mitigation measures needed.
Apimondia’s Scientific Commission on Bee Health and Regional Commission in Europe are jointly organising this webinar with scientists and experienced beekeepers who will present their knowledge and experience on their fight against these species. The webinar aims to shed light on invasion pathways, fill possible gaps on the biology and discuss coordinating actions for mitigation. |
