Call to Action: Participate in our website's Scientific Committee focused on Bee Health
The European Beekeeping Association (EBA) has recently established a new Scientific Committee on Bee Health, with Urška Ratajc serving as its Head. This committee aims to protect the health of bee colonies across Europe.
The EBA is inviting applications from individuals who are actively engaged in bee health and welfare, bee nutrition, and good beekeeping practices. Candidates should have a strong understanding of European animal health policy, relevant legislative frameworks, and local and regional challenges within the beekeeping domain.
While specific eligibility criteria or qualifications for the Scientific Committee on Bee Health have not been explicitly stated, it is likely that applicants will need formal educational qualifications in scientific fields related to bees and demonstrated expertise in bee health. Relevant professional experience or expertise in apiculture or related scientific research is generally expected for committee membership.
The EBA's Scientific Committees, which also include specializations in bee health, safety, apitherapy, and conservation, are focused on making a meaningful impact on bees and their environment. The Scientific Committee on Bee Health, in particular, aims to reduce bee colony mortality through collaboration and knowledge exchange.
The committee will work on improving practices related to spraying periods, insecticide and pesticide applications, disease prevention and control, and the proper handling of medications for bees. It will serve as a collaborative platform for leading researchers and scientists dedicated to addressing challenges facing honeybee colonies.
Applications for membership on the Scientific Committee on Bee Health are open and should be submitted to EBA's official website by September 10th. The application should include a statement of motivation, area of expertise, and a brief list of references.
Urška Ratajc encourages participation in the EBA's Scientific Committees, as the EBA is committed to making a positive impact on bees and their environment. As the association expands its efforts in various areas of European beekeeping, it seeks to make a significant difference in bee health and the environment.
