Dear Beekeeping Community Leaders, I'm reaching out on behalf of Bee Informed Partnership to ask for your help with the Loss and Management Survey. We are in need of more beekeeper responses to the survey and we'd like to ask you to share this information with your community (including large and smaller scale beekeepers). Bee Informed Partnership serves the beekeeping industry as an unbiased third party that prioritizes the needs of beekeepers here in the US. BIP works directly with beekeepers of all operation size along with researchers to help answer some of the tough questions facing the industry. The Loss and Management Survey helps to facilitate that service and informs researchers, policy makers, and most importantly beekeepers across the country and beyond on issues relating to colony loss and how management practices may impact survival here in the US. Right now, we are in need of community support to gather the responses needed for this survey to do the most good. The Loss and Management Survey should take between 20-40 minutes and is an excellent way for every beekeeper to have a meaningful and positive impact on the industry! There is an online and printable pdf version, as well as a different version of survey for larger and smaller scale operations. Here is a Short Video about the Loss & Management Survey (1:19)<https://youtu.be/AvZvvGPfR8E> with additional information attached below. Thank you again for your time and support!
