Development of a system for monitoring pressures on pollinators is a key commitment under the EU Pollinators Initiative. Pesticides and other environmental pollutants are one of the major pressures. Robust and timely information about these pressures will enable development and implementation of effective actions for pollinator conservation, as well as their evaluation. This contract will build on the Insignia pilot project and implement a protocol for monitoring pesticides and other pollutants using honey bees in all EU countries.
