The main output of the project was the cross-border action plan for sustainable agriculture, which was incorporated into regional and national policies.

The project developed an innovative management model based on bee monitoring, through which the most suitable and environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable agricultural cultivation techniques were identified.

Through the collection of timely data on bee health and on the possible presence of heavy metals and other pollutants in pollen, the project partners provided a characterization of the target area, identifying potential existing problems and, consequently, defining management strategies aimed at limiting or reducing threats to biodiversity conservation.

This management model was based on the use of electronic beehives and an ICT system (APP). These two innovative tools were used by beekeepers not only to optimize and standardize apiary management, but also—more importantly—to enable the widespread collection of valuable data through the hives, which, via the APP, were managed and shared across borders to support the definition of large-scale sustainable environmental management models.

The project organized, in Italy and Slovenia as well as through joint cross-border initiatives, cycles of seminars addressed to practitioners focusing on innovation in beekeeping, best practices, and biodiversity. In addition, activities were carried out with educational institutions through engagement actions based on the installation of educational apiaries and wild apoid houses.
