Fonseca, Saraiva, Gonçalves, de Jong, Alves, Menezes, Francoy Brazilian Pollinators Initiative 1. There are no established techniques for using AHB under Brazilian conditions on most crops. There is also very little mechanization of beekeeping. 2. Often the hives are not made with standard measures, or with inferior materials, making transport and management difficult. 3. The bees are quite defensive and growers are often reluctant to place them in or near the crops that need pollinating. 4. There is not sufficient care in the transportation of colonies, so that accidents are common and this discourages their use for pollination. 5. Beekeepers are unaware of disease problems, and sometimes incorrectly try to treat their colonies; some have introduced contaminated bee products and equipment from abroad, threatening beekeeping throughout the country. 6. There is a lack of central laboratories that can provide timely and accurate diagnoses of bee diseases, and also there are no field personnel to advise beekeepers about this kind of problem. 7. Growers are frequently unaware of the importance of bees and pollination, and in fact they often prohibit the introduction of bees into their properties; they use insecticides indiscriminately and incorrectly without any concern for the effects on commercial and native bees. 8. There is no tradition for making pollination contracts that include a provision for compensation for the beekeeper in the case of losses due to pesticides or the stealing of hives on the grower's property. There should also be a provision for responsibilities in the case of an accident with the bees. 9. The availability of honey bee colonies for pollination would be increased considerably if the beekeepers could avoid the serious problems caused by swarming and absconding observed each year. 10. Organic honey and pollination fees are important sources of income for beekeepers, especially in the Northeast region of Brazil; however, beekeepers need technical support so that they can more efficiently attend these markets. Undoubtedly, increased investment in beekeeping technology in Brazil would improve its status as one of the most important food producing regions of the world. 69
