We’re thrilled to see the new website of @valor-project.eu ! A new step forward in raising awareness, sharing knowledge, and driving action for the protection of all pollinators and biodiversity.

B-THENET ANNUAL MEETING: how do we make #bees and #pollinators protection actionable? By working with each other and with #nature.

Before You Doubt Honey, Ask What’s in Your Salad Recent headlines about traces of pesticides in honey have stirred consumer concern, but let’s be clear: honey remains one of the purest, most natural products in our diets.

When we talk about food safety and sustainable farming practices, we're addressing the risks behind what we eat every day, and honey is certainly not at the top of that list.
