Salon No. 47 Wild Honeybees in Europe: A Turning Point
A major development has recently emerged in pollinator conservation. Wild honeybees in parts of Europe have now been classified as Endangered on the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. What does this designation mean for honeybees, ecosystems, and the future of pollination? In this upcoming Arboreal Apiculture Salon, we will explore the scientific, ecological, and conservation implications of this landmark recognition. The conversation will examine the status of free-living honeybee populations in Europe, the drivers behind their decline, and how this moment may reshape the way honeybees are understood within conservation science and agricultural systems.
We are honored to welcome two distinguished voices for this discussion:
• Steve Rogenstein, co-founder of Honey Bee Watch, a global coalition tasked with better understanding the factors that bolster free-living honey bees’ survival,
• Arrigo Moro, researcher at the Italian National Reference Center for Beekeeping and Honey Bee Health, and co-founder of Honey Bee Watch.
Together we will reflect on what this moment signals for wild honeybee conservation and explore emerging approaches that support resilient, free-living pollinator populations within living landscapes. Join us for this timely and thought-provoking conversation.
