Did you know? Over 75% of the world’s major crops depend on the pollination of edible plant species: fruits, vegetables, nuts, coffee, and more. And more than 30% of our food relies on bee pollination. Yet, the health and survival of this species are seriously threatened.
Fully aware of these challenges, the Véto-pharma Bee Science department has been dedicated to bee health for over 25 years. We support the beekeeping sector by staying attentive to its needs and developing innovative, safe, and effective solutions. Our efforts are rewarded, as our products help support over 6 million colonies each year!
Beyond our current product range, we are making significant investments for the future. This includes research projects aimed at developing new treatments for Varroa, solutions to trap hornets, and high-quality nutritional products, thus supporting beekeepers in their work.
Our Areas of Action
Fight against Varroa
Varroa destructor is a parasitic mite that weakens honeybees and promotes the spread of diseases and viruses. Fighting against Varroa is essential to ensure the survival of bee colonies, which are crucial for pollination and global food production.
Yellow-legged hornet trapping
These formidable predators attack hives and decimate colonies, impacting colony survival, honey production, and pollination. By developing effective solutions to trap hornets, we limit their proliferation and preserve the balance of ecosystems.
Bee nutrition
Feeding bees is often reduced to simply providing sugar, but it is actually much more complex. It requires special attention, especially during rainy seasons or in areas lacking floral diversity.
Adequate nutritional intake, both in quantity and quality, is essential to ensure the proper functioning of the colonies!
Our support for the beekeeping sector
At Véto-pharma, we are fully committed to supporting beekeeping and bee health. From Research and Development, with our experimental apiary and R&D laboratory, to partnerships with associations and universities, as well as our financial investments: our actions are driven by innovation and collaboration!
