Background
Managed honey bees in North America continue to be under increasing
pressure to meet pollination demands for our food supply. At the same time,
annual colony losses are high- 39% in the US in 2021

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 2021 from producers with five or more colonies totaled 126
million pounds, down 14% from 2020

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. 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 $10 million into bee research to
provide beekeepers with healthier bees resulting in better pollination and
increased crop yields.
