CONECT is an international scientific conference dedicated to environmental and climate technologies organized by the Institute of Energy Systems and Environment of Riga Technical University (RTU IESE). This was the 16th year that this conference was held, and this year 125 researchers from 24 countries visited Riga to present their achievements in environmental engineering.

I also had a great opportunity this year to present my scientific publications, which I developed as part of my doctoral studies. The topic of my doctoral dissertation is increasing the efficiency of European honey bee breeding work by developing various engineering and biotechnological solutions.

The first publication on this topic has already been published under the title "Review of sustainable cryopreservation and above-freezing storage solutions of European honey bee Apis mellifera drone semen”. The publication is already available in the open-access international scientific journal Environmental And Climate Technologies. The article is available by clicking on the link https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/rtuect-2023-0014 or by searching for the DOI number in any internet search tool doi.org/10.2478/rtuect-2023-0014. The appendix of the publication is available on the zenodo.org website https://zenodo.org/record/7866650.

We will inform you about the scientific achievements in beekeeping also in the future!
