The european project BeeConnected, which has received funding from the H2020 research and innovation programme from EU, and for which Fabrice Requier (Pôle Ecologie) is the coordinator, just started. In EGCE, 3 scientists are part of this project : Lionel Garnery , François Rebaudo and Etienne Minaud. Moreover, 2 scientists from Würzburg University and 3 greek scientists from Hellenic Agricultural Organization- Demeter are part of the project.
Linking research and beekeeping, the project intends to investigate, develop and test new digital solutions based on data collection to deliver early-warning indicators of honey bee colony mortality and decision-support tools to help beekeepers limiting colony losses and related economic deficits.
