| dc.description | The 2024 International Symposium on Stingless Bees (ISSB) was held in Merida, Venezuela, in June 2024, under the auspices of Universidad de Los Andes (ULA). This event was dedicated to the memory of João Maria Franco de Camargo, a distinguished Brazilian entomologist known for his extensive research on stingless bees, particularly in the Neotropical regions. The symposium recognized his significant contributions to science and conservation related to pollinators. It featured 68 presentations from 161 experts across 29 countries, covering a diverse array of topics. The event concluded with a call for ongoing research and collaboration to deepen the understanding of stingless bees, leading to a proposal for this symposium.
The 2025 International Symposium on Stingless Bees (2025 ISSB) will give honor to the late Mr. Rodolfo Palconitin from Guinobatan, Albay. Mr. Palconitin was a pioneering figure in stingless beekeeping in the Bicol Region and is widely regarded as the Father of Meliponiculture in the Philippines. His profound interest in the local stingless bee species, particularly Tetragonula biroi, laid the groundwork for significant advancements in this field. His early observations and experiments related to the behavior and cultivation of these bees provided practical insights that have enhanced their use in pollination and honey production. His legacy continues through his family, and his work has inspired many Bicolanos and Filipinos, in general, to engage in stingless beekeeping as a sustainable and income-generating endeavor. He worked in close coordination with the Regional Apiculture Center (RAC) when he was still alive.
Given the esteemed reputation of CBSUA as a leading agricultural research institution in the Bicol Region, coupled with its dedication to advancing agricultural education and research on stingless bees through the RAC, hence, it is a fitting venue for the forthcoming event. The RAC is integral to this initiative, providing valuable expertise and resources. The center has been a strong proponent of sustainable practices and is committed to disseminating critical information on meliponiculture. Hosting this event will further reinforce the center's commitment to the development and preservation of meliponiculture, ultimately benefiting local communities and enhancing the entire agricultural sector.
The 2025 ISSB aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, students, and enthusiasts from around the globe to share knowledge, discuss advancements, and foster collaboration in the field of stingless bee research and conservation. Hosting this symposium at CBSUA would not only highlight the university's role in promoting sustainable agricultural practices, particularly on stingless bees, but also enhance its visibility on the international stage.
This symposium aims to:
1) Promote scientific research and innovation by sharing recent advancements, research findings, and innovative practices on stingless bees with focus on pot-honey quality improvement and standardization;
2) Create opportunities for knowledge exchange and collaboration among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and community stakeholders; and,
3) Serve as platform for discussing pressing global challenges and trends on stingless bees.
LOGISTICS AND ACTIVITIES
The 2025 RP ISSB will be spearheaded by the Regional Apiculture Center and the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources in close coordination with the College of Economics and Management, College of Arts and Sciences, Office of the Research Division, Office of the Vice President for Research and Innovation, Office of the Vice President for Business and External Linkage, International Relations Office, Extension Services Division, Public Information Office (PIO), ICT Office, as well as the Budget, Cashier, and Accounting Offices. | es_VE |
