As climate change continues too reshape agricultural landscapes, beekeepers are on the front lines of adapting to unpredictable floral bloom cycles. The French Union of Beekeepers (UNAF) will host a free webinar on December 11th to address these evolving challenges,offering insights for managing colony health adn honey production in a changing habitat. The event will feature expert analysis from apiculturist Hubert Guerriat and agricultural engineer Étienne Bruneau, as the apiculture sector increasingly integrates new technologies to monitor and respond to climate impacts-a sector contributing over €3 billion annually to the French economy . Registration is required to attend.
Mark your calendars for Thursday, December 11th, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM.
The French Union of Beekeepers (UNAF) is hosting a webinar addressing a critical issue for modern apiculture: “Climate Change: Impact on Bloom Times and Beekeeping Practices.”
Changing temperatures are significantly disrupting the natural flowering cycles that bees rely on. Beekeepers are increasingly facing unpredictable shifts – earlier blooms, delayed blooms, or even sudden interruptions – making it harder to anticipate colony needs and manage their operations. These disruptions directly affect resource availability, hive management, and honey production.
During the webinar, apiculturist Hubert Guerriat and agricultural engineer Étienne Bruneau will present a detailed overview of these evolving conditions. Their combined expertise will explore practical strategies to help beekeepers adapt to these new environmental realities.
The speakers include:
- Hubert Guerriat – Beekeeper
- Étienne Bruneau – Agricultural Engineer
This event is a must-attend for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the climate challenges facing the apiculture industry and how to prepare for the future. The discussion comes as precision agriculture and environmental monitoring technologies are increasingly being deployed to support sustainable food production.
Attendees are encouraged to prepare their questions for the speakers.
