Biomonitoring with bees

Ducati always pays attention to monitoring the impacts generated by its activities on the environment. In this regard, it has initiated an environmental monitoring plan in recent years that uses bees as bioindicators for biodiversity protection.

The goals of this project are:

  1. Check for the presence of sources of pollution in the environment surrounding the hive by investigating an area within a 3 km radius. 
  2. Check if Ducati's production is a source of potential pollution for bioindicators like bees. 

Below are Ducati's primary biomonitoring figures:

  • 5 hives introduced in Ducati
  • 278 the potential pollutants analyzed (heavy metals, furans and dioxins, pesticides, anions)
  • 2016 the year that biomonitoring with bees began
  • 200,000 bees on average in Ducati hives
