Bees are very sympathetic and meaningful. The decline in bee numbers highlights the interdependence between agriculture and bees. These insects are thus at the heart of a current duality, addressed in Estelle Bridoux's thesis: how can we produce our food using an ecological service?

Do we really know bees?

Dr. Axel DECOURTYE (Director of ITSAP)

Bees are very much part of our culture. Everyone thinks they know what a bee is. However, little is known about these little creatures. We will take the public's knowledge and historical representations of bees as a starting point to show the limits of our knowledge of bees, or rather "bees".

Bees and agriculture: synergy and conflict

Estelle BRIDOUX (Doctoral student at ITSAP)
Bees play a major role in agricultural production, and you only have to imagine a world without bees to understand the importance of protecting them. But how can we reconcile agricultural production and bee protection? By presenting the subject of my thesis, I will suggest a way forward, with its advantages and disadvantages.
