Take the U.S. Beekeeping Survey!
This is the most important survey of the year, so please take a few minutes to complete this one. The 19th Annual U.S. Beekeeping Survey is now live, and we need strong participation from Texas to make sure our beekeepers are well represented.
Take the survey here (Deadline April 30): https://aub.ie/us-beekeeping-survey
Why this matters:
Texas data will be analyzed by Texas A&M AgriLife. They have also offered to share Hays County specific results with us!
Helps us better understand colony losses, health, and management across Texas.
Supports Extension programming, research, and resources for beekeepers.
Also, for those interested, here is a summary of results from last month’s honey survey below. This link walks you through Texas districts: https://agrilifeextension.tamu.edu/about-2/district-offices-regional-centers/.
This will be the last survey conducted this year, so we appreciate your participation. Let’s make Texas #1 in participation again!
