Abstract

This guideline is a general guideline for the application of honey bee colonies for bio-monitoring and how to organise an Apicultural citizen science study. The study objective determines the toolbox for the beekeepers. This guideline has been designed and tested for its practical and scientific merits in the INSIGNIA study 2018-2021. This resulted in a best practice guide for Apicultural citizen science studies for bio-monitoring with honey bee colonies.
The supporting INSIGNIA studies, reports, and publications are available on the
INSIGNIA website (https://www.insignia-bee.eu) - publications. This website will be
maintained for seven (7) years after the end of the INSIGNIA study 2018-2021.
