摘要

由于本地蜜蜂数量减少,再加上需要授粉服务的作物产量增加,世界对人工授粉者的依赖与日俱增。授粉作物的种植者可能有机会加强授粉合同,以吸引养蜂者并促进蜜蜂健康。种植者必须评估这些收益与实施成本之间的关系,但这方面的信息却很少。我们调查了参与加州杏树授粉服务的商业养蜂人对合同改进的价值,这种授粉活动需要大约 89% 的美国蜜蜂蜂群,占美国养蜂人年收入的一半以上。我们发现养蜂人重视确保额外杀虫剂保护、预付款和某些覆盖作物的条款。我们说明了激励农业实践的市场机制,这些农业实践可以改善本地和管理下授粉者的健康状况,同时还能减轻种植者对授粉不足的担忧。

Measuring beekeepers' economic value of contract enhancements in almond pollination agreements

The world's dependence on managed pollinators is growing due to decreasing native bee populations, coupled with increased production of crops requiring pollination services. Growers of pollinated crops may have opportunities to enhance pollination contracts to attract beekeepers and promote bee health. Growers must assess these benefits relative to implementation costs, yet little information exists. We investigate the value of contract enhancements to commercial beekeepers participating in California almond pollination services, a pollination event that demands roughly 89% of US honey bee colonies and makes up over half of US beekeeper annual revenues. We find beekeepers value clauses that ensure additional pesticide protection, advance payment, and certain cover crops. We illustrate market-based mechanisms for incentivizing agricultural practices that can improve native and managed pollinator health, while also alleviating growers' concerns about pollination deficits.

期刊介绍: Ecological Economics is concerned with extending and integrating the understanding of the interfaces and interplay between "nature''s household" (ecosystems) and "humanity''s household" (the economy). Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary field defined by a set of concrete problems or challenges related to governing economic activity in a way that promotes human well-being, sustainability, and justice. The journal thus emphasizes critical work that draws on and integrates elements of ecological science, economics, and the analysis of values, behaviors, cultural practices, institutional structures, and societal dynamics. The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, drawing on the insights offered by a variety of intellectual traditions, and appealing to a diverse readership. Specific research areas covered include: valuation of natural resources, sustainable agriculture and development, ecologically integrated technology, integrated ecologic-economic modelling at scales from local to regional to global, implications of thermodynamics for economics and ecology, renewable resource management and conservation, critical assessments of the basic assumptions underlying current economic and ecological paradigms and the implications of alternative assumptions, economic and ecological consequences of genetically engineered organisms, and gene pool inventory and management, alternative principles for valuing natural wealth, integrating natural resources and environmental services into national income and wealth accounts, methods of implementing efficient environmental policies, case studies of economic-ecologic conflict or harmony, etc. New issues in this area are rapidly emerging and will find a ready forum in Ecological Economics.
