Harmen Hendriksma is a Researcher at the Department of Biointeractions and Plant Health at Wageningen University & Research. His work focuses on apiculture, honeybee health, and pollinator ecology with particular emphasis on Varroa mite control, agricultural landscape impacts, and pest management strategies. He leads the Professional Beekeeping Project SIB2023-012 and has conducted studies on formic acid treatments for varroa, winter mortality prediction using meteorological data, and invasive species interactions.
Key research areas include pollinator behavior in greenhouses, beekeeping best practices, and citizen science-based biodiversity monitoring. His datasets include formic acid treatment comparisons and honeybee heatballing observations. Hendriksma frequently speaks at conferences like the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Institute für Bienenforschung, presenting on topics like natural varroa resistance and climate change impacts on bee health.
He collaborates with institutions across Europe and has contributed to media discussions on professionalizing beekeeping in the Netherlands. His work bridges applied research and practical beekeeping solutions, emphasizing sustainable apiculture practices.
