Behalf of the National Honey Board.

Dear Kelly,

We are pleased to announce a Request for Proposals on behalf of the
National Honey Board that focus on enhancing the health, survival and
productivity of honey bee colonies, which provide practical and tangible
solutions to the beekeeping industry.
Proposals will be accepted between September 1, 2021 and October 3, 2021.

Background
Managed honey bees in North America are under increasing pressure to meet
pollination demands for our food supply. At the same time, annual colony
losses are high- 45.5% in the US in 2020,
<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001lb1p9QmLZ6YcNwVcL7tkkPOZgk8TIO28digFjHZrxGOIk3vk9blYND1exkljcu-1cFgUIeLy97XLwbCqdezXpez75MFUq2I8yU2U2OodzlGan604v2vncJ75u9ib9IsqENURoUX91kvmezkxCSa99o-Kki09ieFUZgkkk3C6Kka6QrUpnasvaDrnWHr1lk51Blff-PFJVgR28VgF4WekhlTNucNoVzuIhnFktnnA-CGPODgP1SDbshn5fW8FS22b&c=N4gsxpusuZSGVF4l36egzJ0rCmqkYoj7jJXTXNMCxFn1Ubnfcwd2Ig==&ch=573Zk0yyaXHx95a2YghURy2CpjwOMYY56T498fbnyTRyNWtXql1ttg==>
and the natural forage which gives bees healthy nutrition and a honey crop
for producers is decreasing. Colony losses are often attributed to
pathogens, parasites, pesticides, hive management (queen mating, genetics,
maintenance), climate, and available nutrition. United States honey
production in 2020 from producers with five or more colonies totaled 148
million pounds, down 6% from 2019
<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001lb1p9QmLZ6YcNwVcL7tkkPOZgk8TIO28digFjHZrxGOIk3vk9blYND1exkljcu-1TqSOFnBP0b6Uo16s2bR3naKCiYC5osst-Xw3Xod4iwYYG-16oLPxQpGK5oiYxJkMRLdEzRHQguP5zau-9LXVeoclKidRgYBlx5kqH7TLh1NSv0231TNkLpK7Ygtdb-9wfy6t0T2NaYjrlZp9qdomqv7dQiZMgqQDgAeUmcpqzfXMwVRHxBprdilYaVqeruIGg8-9Pd_K0Fk=&c=N4gsxpusuZSGVF4l36egzJ0rCmqkYoj7jJXTXNMCxFn1Ubnfcwd2Ig==&ch=573Zk0yyaXHx95a2YghURy2CpjwOMYY56T498fbnyTRyNWtXql1ttg==>.
Sustainable beekeeping is dependent on maximizing outputs (colony health,
colony numbers, pollination contracts, honey production, profitability)
while minimizing the inputs (time, money, personnel, treatments). A
sustainable beekeeping industry contributes to a more sustainable
agricultural landscape through a stable supply of bees for crop
pollination. Therefore, PAm is requesting research proposals that focus on
enhancing the health, survival and productivity of honey bee colonies,
which provide practical and tangible solutions to the beekeeping industry.

The funding sponsor for these proposals is the National Honey Board (NHB),
with Project Apis m. (PAm) administering the proposal, funding process, and
accountability. The NHB funds will be somewhat reduced this year due to a
loss of revenue from honey imports. PAm administers several other
initiatives with funding from many sources, including corporate sponsors,
private donations and grants. Past proposals received and funded by PAm and
NHB reflect a similar focus on supporting the industry.

The National Honey Board is an industry-funded agriculture promotion group
that works to educate consumers about the benefits and uses for honey and
honey products through research, marketing and promotional programs.
Project Apis m. is the largest non- governmental, nonprofit honey bee
research organization in the USA. Established by beekeepers and almond
growers in 2006, PAm has infused over $8.5 million into bee research to
provide beekeepers with healthier bees resulting in better pollination and
increased crop yields.
