According to a long-term monitoring study by FreeTheBees, Switzerland is now faced with how to respond to new findings regarding wild honey bees. A recent study by Dr. Patrick Kohl from the University of Hohenheim and Dr. Benjamin Rutschmann from Agroscope Zurich, published in Conservation Science and Practice, has led the IUCN to classify the wild honey bee in the EU-27 as "critically endangered" for the first time, granting it an official threat status. This marks a significant milestone for FreeTheBees, as the Swiss data comes from their long-term monitoring project focused on wild honey bees and their habitats.
