A sincere and deep thank you to all participants! Without your contributions, Eurbee 10 wouldn't have been such a success. Around 350 participants from 43 countries attended the conference, featuring 156 oral presentations and 163 posters. Your involvement truly made it happen!

The congress, hosted by the Estonian University of Life Sciences, focused on all pollinators, with particular attention to bees. The discussions ranged from pesticide impacts, diseases, and parasites to the positive effects of solving beekeepers' challenges on bee health.

Attendees also enjoyed a welcome reception at the Creative Hub, a banquet at the Seaplane Harbour, and visits to Viru bog or city tours around Tallinn, which proved to be highlights for many.

Leading ideas that were gathered during the congress:

1.Managed and wild pollinators share space with different levels of harmony

2.The variety and success of bees is related to the variety and success of crops

3.In the bee-school of grooming, learning from experienced demonstrators is the most effective

4.Solving beekeepers' issues has a positive effect on bees

5.For new ideas, we need science outreach and direct contact between beekeepers and society

6.Some bee viruses spread among bees and some do not

7.Bee flying doctors can deliver a dose of entomopathogenic fungi to thrips infected fields.

8.Use smart solutions to pollinate crops better, e.g. flowering cover crops, hive/nest location and less pesticides.

9.Disease detection is still a problem for beekeepers.

10.Great concern is due about the negative effects of malnutrition in pollinators due to human activities

11.Adding flowering plant diversity in any form is beneficial for pollinator diversity

12.Much basic knowledge and collaboration among sectors is needed to protect wild and managed bees

13.Wild bee species from narrow niches risk losing the competition in a changing environment

14.High quality bee genomes are essential for conservation genetics

Eurbee10 was a worthy anniversary celebration. The next EurBee congress takes place in Bologa, Italy in 2026!
