Welcome from the webinar Chair:
Welcome to the celebration of the 9th World Bee Day, a webinar dedicated to honoring the remarkable world of bees and their vital contributions to our ecosystems and global food security. Today, we gather experts, practitioners, and enthusiasts from diverse fields to explore key topics ranging from bee health, conservation, and disease management to pollination ecology and beekeeping culture.
Bee populations face unprecedented challenges, including habitat degradation, pesticide exposure, climate change, and the spread of pests and pathogens. This webinar aims to highlight ongoing conservation efforts, deepen our understanding of bee biology and colony health, and share the latest scientific advances in managing diseases and pollination services. Together, we celebrate the resilience of bees, and recognize their profound ecological value. Join us in appreciating the tiny heroes who sustain our planet—our bees.
