In January 2026, HelEx was once again present at the annual conference of the Institutes for Bee Research, this time with a poster contribution. The event is a central meeting for European bee scientists and a recurring opportunity for HelEx to share its pollinator-related results with an expert audience.
Salena Husband (JKI) presented HelEx work on sunflower floral resources and bee health through a detailed poster, with a strong focus on the experimental work conducted in Braunschweig and Quedlinburg. The format allowed for in-depth discussions with colleagues across Europe about experimental design, statistical approaches and the ecological interpretation of results.
Maintaining a regular presence at this conference is part of HelEx’s long-term engagement with the pollinator research community. Each contribution, whether oral or poster, reinforces the dialogue between sunflower breeding and bee science and ensures HelEx results are integrated into the evidence base of European pollinator research.
