Formation of the Committee to Safeguard Bee Health
On July 20, 2024, the Executive Board of our website held a meeting, during which two significant decisions were made. One of these decisions involved the establishment of a new committee - the Committee for the Protection of Bee Health.
While the exact details and timeline for the selection of candidates for this committee are not yet available, the process is expected to follow a similar pattern to that of other regulatory or advisory boards. This process may include an application period, online submissions, review by a committee, creation of an eligibility list, and the final presentation and approval of selected candidates.
Dr. Urška Ratajc, the head of the Scientific Committee, will be responsible for preparing and announcing invitations for the selection of candidates for the Committee for the Protection of Bee Health. The invitation process is scheduled to be completed by August 15, 2024.
The selection of candidates is expected to be completed by October 1, 2024. However, it's important to note that these dates are based on the typical process of similar committees and may not accurately reflect the specific timeline for the Committee for the Protection of Bee Health.
The purpose of the Committee for the Protection of Bee Health is not explicitly stated in this announcement. For more detailed information about the process and timeline for this committee, it would be best to consult the original Executive Board announcement on the relevant website or contact the organisation responsible for the Committee for the Protection of Bee Health directly.
[1] For example, in the Texas Commission on Fire Protection's case, applications are accepted from July 1 to 31, reviewed by commissioners, and ranked on eligibility lists effective the next calendar year, with formal presentation in an August workshop.
- The Committee for the Protection of Bee Health, once established, may draw from the realm of science, health-and-wellness, and therapies-and-treatments, as it strives to ensure the welfare of bees.
- In the spirit of the Texas Commission on Fire Protection's approach, the selection process for the Committee for the Protection of Bee Health could involve accepting applications between July and August, followed by a review, rankings, and final presentations during Autumn.
