Materials Archive from the 2010 International Conference on Pollinator Biology, Health, and Policy

Penn State's Center for Pollinator Research hosted the First International Conference on Pollinator Biology Health and Policy from July 24-28, 2010.

The goal of the conference was to highlight the diversity of issues facing pollinators, and to bring together multiple interest groups to engage in a dialog about the best approaches to mitigating these issues and supporting conservation. The conference attracted over 200 people from 14 different countries. Speakers and registrants included representatives from academic and government research groups, government policy organizations, agricultural industries, beekeeper groups, non-profit organizations, and private citizens. Selected materials from the conference are below, including the program and abstract booklet, and the powerpoint presentations of speakers in the symposium on Evolving Policies on Pollinator Risk Assessment and Conservation.
