New breeding strategies - in order to protect honey bee populations

Protecting honey bees requires the development and dissemination of improved breeding techniques to make them available for use in beekeeping. This will foster the implementation of the vitality criteria developed in the framework of the COLOSS genotype- environment interactions experiment. Here we propose to establish “permanent evaluation stations“ in which selective breeding of the local bee populations can be carried out and in which the vitality parameters can be tested and validated at a local level in cooperation with beekeepers. Also we want to develop alternative estimation methods for breeding values.
