Project BeePro: Rational use of plant protection products and fertilizers in terms of the impact on bees in the ecosystem

Bee decline has become a major problem because bees are among the most important pollinators of both agricultural crops and wild plants.

In January 2024, the implementation of the BeePro project: "Rational use of plant protection products and fertilizers in terms of the impacts on bees in the ecosystem" will come to an end. The project aimed to develop useful educational tools for stakeholders  with the intention:

• of updating and improving their knowledge and awareness in the field of organic beekeeping,
• to provide supporting educational materials to improve knowledge, skills and competences on the impacts of the use of plant protection products on
  bees and other pollinators and
• to disseminate information on the correct use and application of these agrochemicals.

The project is implemented within the EU ERASMUS+ programme. 6 partners from 5 European countries participated in its implementation.

The project coordinator is the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Institute (formerly Agroinstitute Nitra), the duration of the project is 2 years.

Project results:

1. BEEPRO CURRICULUM INCLUDING STATE  OF THE ART.
2. VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WITH TRAINING CONTENT.
3. BEEPRO HANDBOOK.
