BEE SYMPOSIUM 2008
THE HONEYBEE, Pollinators AND
THE ENVIRONMENT
In this time of global
ecological challenges,
the honeybee is an indicator
species
reflecting the enormous
changes taking place in our world.
Bee populations are dying and
pollination ecology is deeply affected.
As beekeepers, we must become
stewards of the earth and change paradigms.
This one-day symposium offers
information and speakers with new perspectives
on honeybees and native
pollinators, beekeeping practices,
innovative approaches and
ecological strategies for beekeepers.
