The climate puts bees at risk: in Europe 37% of species in decline
Caldo, siccità e fioriture anticipate possono rompere la sincronizzazione fra piante e impollinatori. A Bologna quattro giorni di incontri fra ricercatori e scienziati di quasi 50 Paesi
The 11th European Conference of Apidology, EurBee 11, will take place in Bologna, Italy, from September 7-10. The conference, organized by Crea and the University of Bologna, will bring together researchers from nearly 50 countries to discuss the impact of climate change on bee populations. Rising temperatures, drought, and altered seasonal rhythms can disrupt the synchronization between plant flowering and bee activity, threatening the adaptability of bees to changing environments.
The conference will address various topics, including genetics, nutrition, and new technologies, with around 500 scientific contributions and 196 oral communications. Climate change is adding new pressures to bee populations, which are already facing stress from pesticides, pathogens, and habitat transformation.
