In this Better B public event we shared the insights from the 2024 report of our Citizen Science Food Sharing Study. We showed what we’ve learned from this collaborative research effort and how it’s shaping our understanding of pollinator food sharing.
Attendees also got an exclusive introduction to our Varroa online tool—a novel digital resource designed to support beekeepers in monitoring and managing Varroa infestations more effectively.
The event concluded with a panel discussion featuring our speakers, other researchers, and community members, offering diverse perspectives and sparking thought-provoking dialogue.
Thank you for joining us!
