π Exciting news from our apiary today! πΌ
We participated in the APHIS United States National Survey of Honey Bee Health through the University of Nebraskaβs Ecology Department. π§ͺ Samples collected from our hives will help document honey bee diseases, pests, and pathogens across the U.S. and improve colony health monitoring nationwide. πΊπΈ
This important survey also watches for invasive threats to honey bees, including Tropilaelaps clareae, Apis cerana, and Slow Bee Paralysis Virus. πππ¦
Thank you to the University of Nebraska and APHIS for this vital work β and to our community for supporting healthy bees and stronger pollination. π»π
