Applications open for European Bee Award: (Deadline 6 September, 2024)

Applications are now open for the European Bee Award initiated by the European Landowners’ Organization (ELO) and the European Agricultural Machinery Industry Association (CEMA) to celebrate inventive, effective, and scalable projects safeguarding pollinators across Europe.

Categories

  • The award also comes with a diploma of recognition and the winning project will be promoted through ELO and CEMA communication channels:
    • Category 1: Land management practices to protect and enhance pollinators in the farmed environment. The prize will reward developments in farming practices that help create the right living conditions for bees and other pollinators, encouraging their presence in cropped areas while enriching biodiversity in the farmed environment.
    • Category 2: Application of innovative technological solutions to reduce farming operations’ impact on pollinators. A special focus will be placed this year on projects that new technologies and new applications of technologies to allow bees and other pollinators to be better protected from the impact of farming operations (for example, application of crop protection products or during harvesting).
  • In addition to the above categories, a “Jury special mention” will be awarded by diploma of recognition for an excellent small-scale or novel project, farm or initiative. An independent jury chaired by Dr Michael Garratt and including international experts, members of the European Institutions and NGOs will be in charge of assessing which practices and innovative ideas in agriculture most contribute to the maintenance of good pollinator communities in Europe’s farmed landscape.
