A first in Belgium: Successful bee insemination using frozen semen

Researchers from the University of Liège, as part of the FreezeBEE project, have achieved a promising breakthrough in bee insemination. For the first time, an attempt using frozen semen without the addition of antibiotics has resulted in the production of female brood, with a viability rate equivalent to traditional methods. This discovery paves the way for new opportunities in bee conservation and agriculture.
