B-GOOD: Giving Beekeeping Guidance by cOmputatiOnal-assisted Decision making

A key to healthy beekeeping is the Health Status Index (HIS) inspired by EFSA’s Healthy-B toolbox which we will make fully operational, with active collaboration of beekeepers, facilitating coordinated and harmonised flow data from various sources testing validating each component thoroughly. We envisage a stepby-step expansion participating apiaries, eventually cover all EU biogeographic regions. The sustainable better understanding its socio-economics, particularly within local value chains, relationship bee health human-ecosystem equilibrium sector implement these insights into processing decision making. integrate socio-economic analyses, identify viable business models tailored different contexts for European determine carrying capacity landscape. In close cooperation Bee Partnership, an EU-wide management platform affiliated project website be created enable sharing knowledge learning between scientists stakeholders outside consortium. utilise further expand classification open source IT-application digital beekeeping, BEEP, streamline related management, beehive environment (landscape, agricultural practices, weather climate) sources. dynamic allow us correlative relationships among factors impacting HSI, assess risk emerging pests predators, beekeepers develop adaptive strategies that account issues. Reinforcing establishing, where necessary, new multi-actor networks engender lasting innovation system ensure socialecological resilient beekeeping.
