The B-GOOD project was recently featured in the Flemish beekeepers magazine "Maandblad van de Vlaamse Imkersbond" focused solely on the interests of those involved in professional beekeeping. B-GOOD’s story was featured in the magazine’s April 2022 edition (108 volume, no.3).

In the report titled "First B-GOOD reviewing period (Part 1)",  B-GOOD’s project coordinator Prof. Dirk de Graaf of Ghent University showcases the progress made by B-GOOD in the first half of its lifetime.

• B-GOOD technologies
• Development of health status index and the collection of "Big Data"

Next month, in the second part of the report, Prof. de Graaf will talk about the innovative "tools" developed in the B-GOOD project, the dynamic landscape models and the socio-economic component of the project.
