About BeSafeBeeHoney

BeSafeBeeHoney is a COST Action uniting researchers, beekeepers, and industry experts to safeguard bee products' authenticity and quality. Through collaboration, innovation, and knowledge exchange, we aim to strengthen food security, protect pollinators, and build resilient ecosystems.
Discover how science and passion for bees come together to make a lasting impact.

"Bees pollinate around 75% of flowering plants is enough to make them one of the most important beings in the world. Bees literally feed us!"
