CerPol – Certified Pollination Service

Overview: Certified Pollination Service. The long-term goal is a quality-assured pollination service, for the benefit of both beekeepers and plant producers. Joint project in Norway, Denmark and Sweden. This funding is for a small pilot project with the aim of:

1. to systematise existing knowledge about pollination beekeeping

2. plan to develop a standard and training for pollination as a profession

During the project period, we will gather knowledge that already exists in established beekeeping environments and green environments, and not least updated research from research institutions in our partner countries.

The project will reveal whether it is possible to move forward with the topic and apply for funding for a larger development project in a collaboration between our countries, or whether each country must continue to work separately.
