Beekeeping and the Need for Pollination from an Agricultural Perspective in Egypt

The aim of this review is to compile what is known about beekeeping in Egypt, statistics on beehives in Egypt, non-Apis pollinators, crops in need of pollination, and the potential honey bee pollination gap in Egypt.

This review was performed in an attempt to draw the attention of stakeholders and decision makers to the value of pollinators in terms of the sustainability of agricultural production in Egypt.

Dr. Yahya Al Naggar,  Associate professor of Entomology at Zoology Department, Faculty of Science, Tanta University, Egypt. Currently, he is AvH  postdoc fellow  at institute of General Biology, Martin Luther University.  He is interested to unravel the causes of colony collapse disorders (CCD).  He is conducting lab and field experiments to test whether novel insecticides that are targeting the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor of insects is also harmful to honeybees as well as in their interaction with other stressors. Such knowledge is key for pollinator health and key to safeguard food security into the future.
