Dear Friends and Colleagues.

On 21-22 September 2021 we are holding a fascinating 2 day mini-conference
on the Natural Processes Influencing Pollinator Health (
https://www.kew.org/science/engage/get-involved/conferences/pollinator-health).
The
impacts of human activities such as agricultural intensification,
pesticides and habitat loss on pollinating species is now well
established.  However, the influence of natural processes on pollinator
health from, for example, micronutrients, gut symbionts, bioactive and
behaviour modifying natural floral chemicals, the nectar microbiome, soil
quality and florally diverse landscapes have, by comparison, received much
less attention. Yet these natural processes could have a major influence on
the health and wellbeing of pollinators at individual, population and
community level.

This mini-conference will bring together world leaders in pollination
biology, chemistry and ecology research who will present their original
research and vision on this topic. Each of the 20 contributions will be a
paper in a forthcoming special issue of Philosophical Transactions of the
Royal Society B entitled From flowers to Landscapes: the natural processes
influencing pollinator health (due for publication in March 2022).

The meeting will be entirely virtual/on-line and is hosted by Royal Botanic
Gardens, Kew.  Registration is required to attend but is completely FREE
thanks to support from the Peter Sowerby Foundation and allows access to
the LIVE meeting and to the recorded talks for up to one month afterwards.
All presentations are here (
https://www.kew.org/science/engage/get-involved/conferences/pollinator-health/paper-titles)
and cover a range of topics from flower chemistry to floral landscapes and
from gut symbionts to pathogens (Schedule to follow soon) and there will be
opportunities to interact with the speakers via Q&A.

Registration is required but quick and available here (

Please share with your friends, students and colleagues who you think may
be interested.
