USA- ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF A BI MONTHLY BEEKEEPING SURVEY

The Bee Informed Partnership BIP invites you to check out the latest program for backyard beekeepers, the BIP’s HiveCheck Program. Every two weeks BIP will be  sending to  hundreds of beekeepers across the country a short 10 question survey asking how they are managing their colonies to share management practices with each other. At the end of each week BIP will  send a detailed report of all the responses to our participants including filters to see management trends by region and even by state for premium members.

You can find more information about the BIP HiveCheck program at  http://beeinformed.org
