BeeGuards “WP2 – Innovative Breeding” is about to enter its pivotal phase for the current year, as the honey bee mating season is approaching in most European countries; in this episode, we will feature the interview with Raffaele Dall’Olio (BeeSources) who is running the study in Italy in collaboration with CREA. As Italy is the southernmost country involved in WP2, don’t be surprised when Raffaele will tell you that both ‘conventional’ and ‘innovative’ mating stations are already open!
