April showers… and participate in the US Beekeeping Survey!
This is your chance to help researchers, industry leaders, and government take the pulse of the beekeeping industry by recording managed honey bee colony losses and beekeeping practices across the United States. Results of colony loss and management surveys are important in many ways, from helping to raise awareness and resources for beekeeping, to setting research directions within our great network of land-grant universities.
Because the Bee Informed Partnership (BIP) is no longer administering an annual survey, Auburn University, in partnership with the Apiary Inspectors of America, created a survey that continues long-term monitoring of key aspects of the US beekeeping industry by complementing BIP’s efforts over the past 15+ years. This is the second year of the US Beekeeping Survey!
Please contribute as a Citizen Scientist to this monitoring effort before midnight on April 30th. All US beekeepers aged 18 and over – from backyard hobbyists to those running multi-state commercial operations – are invited to participate. The survey will take 15-30 minutes to complete.
