Bees without Borders

The “Bees without Borders” conference series is a platform for bee researchers, experienced practitioners and enthusiasts.

The regular lectures aim to promote knowledge, awareness and understanding of honey bees and other pollinators. It will also highlight the complexities of honeybee ecology and their relationships and role in the wider pollinator community.

Each month we welcome exciting speakers who discuss different topics, enrich us with their expertise and experience and answer your questions.

These conferences are organized by FreeTheBees in Switzerland, in collaboration with Honey Bee Wild (Luxembourg).

    Bee without Borders : Denis Michez Safeguarding Europe’s Bee Diversity: Key Findings from the European Red List

    Denis Michez, Professor, University of Mons (Belgium)   Denis Michez is developing studies to globally understand bee diversity and conservation. His Ph-D field background is Systematics. He published species descriptions and monographies. Now he is leading projects exploring how bee diversity evolved at population and upper taxonomic levels (species, families) considering fossils, molecular phylogenies, phylogeography and bee-plant chemical interactions. We are also developing research focusing on emergent global threats like climate change and chemical pollution.   https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Denis-Michez?ev=hdr_xprf  Abstract of the presentation:   We will present the context and the main results from the report of "The European Red List of Bees", […]
