Apis Protect
ApisProtect uses unique, innovative technology to help beekeepers prevent losses and increase productivity in their hives.
>> 24/7 hive monitoring
ApisProtect enables beekeepers to monitor hives at times that are typically difficult or impossible (during the night, during poor weather, or in the winter).
>> Productivity assessment
ApisProtect allows beekeepers to evaluate the productivity of their beehives in terms of pollination or honey production.
>> Improved response time
ApisProtect helps beekeepers to make faster and more effective decisions on beekeeping actions.
>> Loss prevention
ApisProtect assists beekeepers to act early to reduce or prevent beehive events which would otherwise cause large scale colony losses.

Viewpoint: Questioning Nature's publication of anti-glyphosate letter by André Heitz (a friend of mine)

Real Europe farmers
Romania accounted for one third (33.5 %) of the total number of farms in the EU-28 in 2013, while Poland (13.2 %) was the only other EU Member State to record a double-digit share; many of the farms in these two Member States can be considered subsistence households.
By contrast, there were 680 thousand farms in the EU-28 with a standard output of at least EUR 100 000; these very large farms accounted for 6.3 % of the total number of farms and for 71.4 % of the agricultural standard output in 2013.

Civilization in 2018- this is priceless!
Old joke, with a very pessimistic point of view that I do not agree at all with! We have never lived so long in good health, with such comfortable conditions, with such a low proportion of people starving and such high proportion of people educated... but I like people able to play with words…
WELCOME to 2018 …
