Promoção da saúde das abelhas para a agricultura sustentável
BEEHEAL
The conservation on the abundance and diversity of insect pollinators is a decisive action to avoid the negative impact that the lack of these insects can produce on agriculture, on food production and security, and on environmental sustainability. More than one third of the world's agricultural production depends on Apis mellifera pollination. During the last years there is an alarming increase in the collapse of honey bee colonies where bee pathogens like Varroa destructor mites, the microsporidia Nosema ssp. and viruses participate actively. Colony decline might compromise not only food security but also present and future income to the growers.
