APISANA-MOBILE LABORATORY FOR SAMPLING AND CONSERVATION OF THE SAMPLES COLLECTED FOR ASSESSMENT OF THE TOXICITY OF AGRICULTURAL CULTURES ON HONEY BEES
APISANA - LABORATOR MOBIL DE RECOLTARE SI CONSERVARE A PROBELOR COLECTATE PENTRU EVALUAREA TOXICITATII CUTURILOR AGRICOLE ASUPRA ALBINELOR MELIFERE
Objectives
The general objective is to make a database containing the results of a study that investigates the presence of contaminants in agricultural cultures that have toxic effects on honeybees. The project offers a necessary solution for protecting the health of bees and supports beekeepers who have already suffered losses. The project will create a new source of income and an opportunity to expand their expertise for the laboratories performing the proposed analyses. For farmers this will be an opportunity to be properly informed about the hazards caused by the phytosanitary treatments they use, avoiding bee poisoning and protecting wild polleniferous fauna.
Objectives
Obiectivul general este realizarea unui baze de date ce va deriva din intocmirea unui studiu ce priveste prezenta contaminantilor in culturile agricole care au efect nociv asupra albinelor. Proiectul propune o solutie necesara pentru protejarea sanatatii albinelor si vine in sprijinul apicultorilor care au suferit deja pierderi. Pentru laboratoarele care efectueaza analizele prevazute in proiect acestea vor reprezenta o sursa de venit si o oportunitate de a-si largi zona de competenta. Pentru fermieri va fi o oportunitate de a fi corect informati asupra periculozitatii tratamentelor fito-sanitare pe care le folosesc evitand intoxicarea albinelor dar si protejarea faunei polenifere.

Expected results:
- Creation of a free database accessible online which details the contaminants present in the agricultural environment
- The information will offer beekeepers to protect their bees and their honey production by avoiding placing their beehives next to crops treated with pesticides
- The reduction of catastrophic events caused by farmers that use toxic compounds for bees and other pollinators to protect their crops. Farmers will be motivated to inform themselves which products to use in order to protect against any financial damages they would need to pay if found responsible for causing bees intoxication.
Benefits:
- Beekeepers will see a reduction in cases of bees intoxication which will lead to increase in bees productivity. By avoiding contaminants present in the nectar and pollen of flower, beekeepers will avoid the contamination of their bee products above approved limits, thus increasing the quality of their products and increasing the value of their production.
- Farmers will avoid having to pay any fines related to causing pollinator intoxication by using toxic compounds to protect their crops. They will also benefit from understanding the level of contamination of their own crops which could become illegal in the long term.
- Researchers will be able to develop and standardise methods of analysis of data derived from levels of contamination of nectar, pollen, honey or vegetal samples. Specific research areas could be newly developed, which will lead to promoting development of research activity.
Rezultate asteptate:
- Crearea unei baze de date accesibila gratuit online care detaliaza contaminatii prezenti in mediul agricol
- Informatia va oferi apicultorilor o metoda de a-si proteja albinele si produsele apicole prin evitarea amplasarii stupilor in apropierea unei culturi agricole tratata cu anumite pesticide.
- Reducerea catastrofelor generate de utilizarea de catre fermieri de produse de protectie a plantelor care au efect toxic asupra albinelor si a altor polenizatori. Fermierii vor fi motivati de a se informa pentru a evita pierderile financiare aferente platirii daunelor daca sunt gasiti responsabili.
Beneficii/oportunitati/valoare adaugata:
-Apicultorii vor beneficia de o micsorare a numarului cazurilor de intoxicare a albinelor datorate tratamentelor fitosanitare ceea ce va creste productivitatea stupilor acestora. Prin aflarea din timp a contaminarilor existente in nectarul si polenul florilor vor evita contaminarea mierii si a altor produse apicole peste limitele admise, sporind astfel calitatea produselor si crescand valoarea adaugata aferenta productiei stupinei.
-Fermierii vor beneficia de informatia care ii va putea scapa de plata unor daune datorate provocarii de pierderi pentru apicultori. Vor beneficia si de informatia legata de nivelul de contaminare a propriei productii vegetale cu substante interzise pentru care reglementarilor pe termen mediu si lung se pot schimba.
