SynTech Research recently exhibited at the 2019 SETAC Europe meeting in Helsinki, Finland. The Company presented an important poster describing our Pollinator research. This showed that hive positioning is a key component in reducing the impact of disturbance when testing side effects of plant protection products in semi-field testing on honey bees. See poster here.
Participants at SETAC were Eric Ythier (Business Development Manager EMEA & APAC), Line Deslandes (Terrestrial Ecotoxicology Team Lead) and Jean-Christophe Lenoir (Pollinator Study Director).
