USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s Identification Technology
Program (ITP), in collaboration with Pollinator Partnership, is pleased to
announce the release of *The BeeMD, *a diagnostic application for
identifying honey bee health problems. This release includes much of the
content from the original website first published in 2016. On this new
platform, the “visual key” has been completely restructured and
streamlined, and the entire website redesigned and expanded, offering
additional informational, visual, and supportive content.

Please find the attached PDF announcement to see an overview of this latest
identification tool release from ITP in support of USDA APHIS Plant
Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) and its partners. Please also feel free to
forward this email or the attachment to your colleagues.
