related to improving the health of honey bees. Funding for these grants
has been generously provided by Burt’s Bees; summaries of previously
funded projects can be found at

proposals will be conducted by members of the Honey Bee Health Improvement Task

total, $40,000 will be available, and we anticipate supporting 4-6
proposals. Funds must be used within a one-year period. Focused,
targeted projects with a high likelihood of providing tangible results that can
be applied to improving honey bee health are preferred. Proposals
providing valuable extensions of previously funded projects will be considered.
The HBH Task Force has identified five priority areas for funding.
Proposals that address multiple priority areas or have implications for the
health of other managed or native bee species are encouraged:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
