Study of Blueberry Pollinators
Quebec, Canada
BEECAM is used to observe and study wild insects, providing a better understanding of their behavior and role in the ecosystem, with the aim of addressing the high mortality rate among honeybees observed by Quebec blueberry growers. In this context, it is essential to preserve and protect wild pollinators to ensure the stability and security of our food supply.

Background and Issues
The challenges faced by producers
Although the honeybee is a recognized pollinator of blueberries, due to the size of its colonies and the ease with which they can be managed and moved, many beekeepers in Quebec have reported high colony mortality rates for several years. In this context, protecting wild pollinators is becoming essential to ensuring the security and stability of our food supply.
Our support
BEECAM is used to observe and study these pollinating insects, providing a better understanding of their behavior and their role in the ecosystem.
