The Beerisk operative group, a collaboration between the University of Granada, Apinevada, DOP “Miel de Granada”, Beekeepers of Granada, and Agro-Food Cooperatives of Granada (Faeca), is developing a rapid diagnostic kit to identify the main pathogens of honey bees. The kit will be used by beekeepers and veterinarians to detect diseases in hives and assess the risk of transmission between apiaries. The project aims to combat the decline in the bee population due to habitat loss, climate change, pesticides, parasites, and diseases, and to develop new strategies for early disease detection. The group will also keep the beekeeping community informed of the project results and action plans for containing diseases in apiaries.
