Information and Survey: Bee Informed Survey

NEW IN 2021

• Shortened management section focused on Queens and New colonies
In response to beekeeper feedback, we shortened the management section by focusing on two important topics this year – Queens and New Colonies. Next year we will focus on another important topic.

• Both Small-scale AND Commercially-minded survey versions
Commercial beekeepers and small-scale beekeepers run their operations differently and tend to keep slightly different records. We designed two versions of the survey to capture loss and management information in a format that fits each group best, working with a panel of beekeepers for input.

Don’t hesitate to print your version in advance of taking the survey online so that you can be prepared for our inquisitive questions.
