Xesús believes fostering relationships between scientists and beekeepers alike is an important strategy going forward allowing adequate dissemination and socialization of scientific results The information provided on the Vespa velutina should be: correct, relevant, accessible, effective and based on scientific evidence. To effectively combat or manage this problem, society needs scientists that mix with the public explaining, surprising and enthusing.

Research is everything... |
Xesús Feás is a scientific researcher with a keen interest in the observation of the invasive Vespa velutina var nigrithorax (Lepelletier, 1835) Asian hornet and investigating methods for controlling the species.
|
Xesús is a beekeeper and started the first experimental Apiary called ‘Velvet Apiary Velutina Veterinary Research’. The first apiary registered to research Asian hornet presence and honey bees response, where he recently installed a bee counter device to monitor the impact of Vespa velutina in honey bee colonies. He first began working with beekeepers 10 years ago and now carries out a project with beekeepers called VES PAR Vespa velutina partipiary where scientists and beekeepers try to answer from an honest point of view all questions related to VESPA VELUTINA and consequents on honey bees.

Xesus Feas is the editor, author and/or coordinator of six books and the author of many articles in international scientific journals included in the Science Citation Index, has articles in national scientific journals and scientifically diffused works. His findings are summarized in 44 publications in indexed journals which you can see here , as well as the direct transfer to public health laboratories (public and private) of the analytical methods developed for the control of substances used illegally in animal production and the beekeeping sector in relation to the knowledge generated around products apiculture (composition and medicinal properties)

His academic background
(veterinary and food technologist), post doctorate in the area of analytical chemistry, as well as the different postdoctoral stays, have allowed him to acquire a multidisciplinary training regime bringing together knowledge to deal with various lines of research work in order to gain success. |
Qualifications
