The document outlines the initiative Beeodiversity, which aims to regenerate and preserve biodiversity and bee populations in Europe, with a target of developing biodiversity on 10% of Belgium's surface by 2015. The organization provides consultancy services, leases bee colonies to enhance biodiversity, and creates awareness about the role of bees in ecological balance and agriculture. Their approach involves collaboration with various stakeholders, including companies, public institutions, and scientists, to implement concrete actions to prevent bee population collapse.
