Innovative, Sustainable Beekeeping

Honeybees are vital for sustainable, productive agriculture, biodiversity in many ecosystems, and nutritional security. However, recent studies have indicated that native bee populations are declining due to climate change, habitat loss, invasive species, parasites and diseases, and the use of pesticides. The major decline in honeybee health puts agriculture, healthy lifestyles, and worldwide food security at risk. In this P-Talk, Dr. Sedat Sevin, Co-Founder of BeePlant and Research Assistant in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Ankara University, Turkiye, shares the latest innovations in sustainable, productive beekeeping including drug design, use of virtual reality, robotic systems, hive tracking systems, and residue detection in bee products and addresses the issue of how to save bees from climate change.
