Benedetta Ponti

After finishing my Master Degree in Environmental Science in 2010, I started a PhD and gained expertise in Acquatic Ecotoxicology. I have been working for Chemservice since 2014 and during my career I become study director in acquatic and terrestial ecotoxicology. Four years ago, as a personal hobby, I attended a beekeeper course. Over the years I have continued to follow this passion and brought these skills into the workplace. Currently I’m in charge of honeybees and bumblebees laboratory studies (acute oral and contact toxicity and chronic 10 days toxicity) and of bee brood studies under semi-field conditions (tunnel study).
