*The BIP survey is the longest national effort to monitor honey bee
mortality rates in the U.S.* The Loss survey was initiated in 2006 by the
Apiary Inspectors of America. Then in 2010 the Management section was added
in collaboration with the vanEngelsdorp Bee Lab at the University of
Maryland. The survey not only estimates the level of colony mortality in
the country, but also allows us to identify management practices that are
linked to colony mortality.

This year, a few things are new to the survey!

   - *Shortened management section focused on Queens and New colonies*

In response to beekeeper feedback, we shortened the management section by
focusing on two important topics this year – Queens and New Colonies. Next
year we will focus on another important topic.

   - *Both Small-scale AND Commercially-minded survey versions*

Commercial beekeepers and small-scale beekeepers use different shorthand
and keep records differently. They also can manage colonies differently. We
created two versions of the survey to capture loss and management
information in a format that fits each group best, working with a panel of
beekeepers for input.

Both versions previews are available at beeinformed.org/take-survey/

Don’t hesitate to print your version in advance of taking the survey online
so that you can be prepared for our inquisitive questions.

Just so that you know – your participation in the Survey is confidential.
No personally identifiable information will be disclosed in any publication
or presentation resulting from this research.

We rely on word of mouth to reach as many beekeepers as possible. Please
share the survey announcement far and wide with your beekeeping friends and
local clubs!

Thanks so much for your participation!

Sincerely, The Loss and Management Survey Team
