 BeeSWeek 2013, is a two day Scientific and Community Panel Forums at the University of New Mexico. It is an event packed with two key note speakers (Paul Wheaton, founder of permies.com and Valerie Solheim, honey bees in high energy zones) and four separate panels that will investigate:
- State of the BeeS address: The current situation of our available pollinators used today in North American crops:
- An analysis of four bee industries: Lessons and experiences of currently managed types of bees
- A discussion of today’s practices from the perspectives of the farmer and the pollinating contractor: The farmer’s usage of chemicals, their available expertise, and known, potential, and sustainable alternatives
- BeeGAP (Gardeners Adding Pollinators) as a keystone home garden solution: A grassroots, collaborative effort teaching gardeners to create healthy yards, natural bee habitats, raise solitary bees to assist the farmer in crop pollination, and ultimately assist in wholesome food production.
