In spring 2027, €75,000 will be allocated for the purchase of approximately 1,500 beehive protection devices (electric fences and muzzles), to be installed by late summer and early autumn. An additional €25,000 will support the destruction of nests that threaten hives, aiming to eliminate 500 nests. The region is also focusing on training, with around 100 local agents set to be trained in 2026 on managing the species in public spaces through one-day sessions scheduled in Charleville-Mézières, Nancy, Metz, Colmar, Épinal, and being organized in Châlons-en-Champagne and Chaumont. Lastly, scientific monitoring will be conducted on new control techniques, including alternative nest destruction methods and detection experiments, such as radio telemetry tested in the Vosges. This initiative aligns with the regional roadmap for pollinators and the beekeeping sector contract.
