North American Pollinator Protection Campaign (NAPPC) is seeking proposals for research related to improving the health of honey bees. Proposals should focus on research to understand, manage, suppress, and eradicate Varroa mites, small hive beetles, and other pests, pathogens, and diseases contributing to colony losses. Summaries of previously funded projects can be found at <a href="https://pollinator.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d3fc276110a2ce56101ecad16&id=1a12ee2af7&e=eb843138ac" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0e65e7">http://pollinator.org/honeybee_health.htm</span></a>.
