Project description

The main objective of the BELBEES project was to gather and analyze data related to wild bee populations in Belgium and to evaluate the impact of their likely drivers of decline (climate
change, landscape modifications, decrease of floral resources availabilities, pesticide use, diseases and pathogens) in order to identify a management framework for wild bee
conservation in Belgium and to conserve the ecosystem service of wild bee pollination.
