Help British Beekeepers Association raise funds for research into the threats honeybees face
Every year the British Beekeepers Association selects scientific projects from a wide range of subjects that benefit bees and beekeeping. These might include bee behaviour, bee husbandry, pollination, forage or the environment.
Grants are given to researchers on a rolling basis throughout the year – that way if someone has a particularly brilliant idea they do not have to wait until they can apply they can do it straight away.
Current research
We are currently supporting the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology who have started analysing honey samples to monitor how the pollen content of honey varies & which plants & trees honeybees favour.
We have given funds to Sussex University to create a national database of plant/pollinator interactions which will record which plants support all pollinators including honeybees.
