Fields of action
BeeLife European Beekeeping Coordination is dedicated to the conservation, protection and sustainable development of beekeeping and pollination across Europe. Our projects focus on preserving and protecting the vital role that bees play in the environment.
Analysis
BeeLife takes a vigilant role in several aspects closely linked to the health of bees, pollinators in general and biodiversity in Europe. We focus on:
​
-
Pesticides regulation, its implementation and its effects.
-
The future of the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
​
BeeLife's work on these issues includes direct contact with other stakeholders and its members, as well as preparing publications for authorities and the general public.
​
​
The importance of pollinators is a concern for all citizens who depend on a healthy environment and sustainable agriculture. BeeLife helps spread the word through:
​
-
Civil Campaigns through the Save the Bees Coalition and other joint efforts from civil society.
-
Support to European Citizen Initiatives (ECIs) such as "Stop Glyphosate" or the Save Bees and Farmers ECI.
-
Raising awareness of the importance of pollinators and their relation to biodiversity and food security.
-
Co-organising the European Bee and Pollination Week at the European Parliament.
