BEE HEALTH
Healthy Bees: A Global Issue
Honey bees are at risk around the world; their health is under threat. One of the Ricola Foundation’s main projects is supporting the international network COLOSS (Prevention of honey bee COLony LOSSes).
This project is dedicated to researching and stemming global honey bee losses. Its aim is to systematically investigate the causes of bee mortality and to introduce adequate protective measures for the bees.
The support of the Ricola Foundation helps the organization to continue to develop and maintain its global network of research institutions, universities and apiarists. COLOSS currently has more than 1,000 members from 100 countries.
In addition to this, we support individual research projects looking at the same topic.
