Pollinators — xPollinator Training
This section covers landscape-level risk assessment for pollinator populations (honeybees and wild bees) using the xPollinator landscape model.
Coming Soon
Training materials for this section are being prepared and will be published here.
What You Will Learn
- How to set up and run the xPollinator landscape model
- Understanding pesticide exposure pathways for bees in agricultural landscapes (oral, contact, residues in pollen/nectar)
- Modelling landscape-level foraging and exposure of honeybee colonies
- Applying population-level effect models for colony dynamics
- Relevant regulatory context (e.g., EFSA Bee Guidance)
Key Model Components
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Landscape & crop data | Spatial representation of foraging resources |
| Exposure modules | Pesticide residues in pollen, nectar, and guttation water |
| BeePop / colony models | Population dynamics of honeybee colonies |
