Abstract(s)
In Portugal, there are no official, statistically validated,
records that can allow an oblective data-based analysis of
the national beekeeping sector. This was the first study
that set out to try a first nationwide characterization of
beekeepers and beekeeping operations most frequently
carried out in the context of our apiculture, particularly
the type of operations expected to impose some
selection pressure on national populations of varroa.
