All,

Can you please send this out to your local club members? The deadline is tomorrow and it appears Indiana is not represented.

Thanks,
Debbie Seib

Fellow beekeepers,

Dennis vanEngelsdorp and the BIP Team have said that they have not received a good representation of responses to the bee survival surveys this year, especially among small-scale beekeepers throughout our region. Last year Virginia had the most responses, but our states and provinces are not yet in the running this year.

Can you complete the survey yourself, if you have not done so, and circulate (or recirculate) among your mailing lists? It is important that we are all well represented. Deadline is April 30.

Please go to the BIP online survey at http://10.selectsurvey.net/beeinformed/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=BIP2014 and complete the survey there. It will be live until April 30th. Please do not complete the survey more than once. Information about past Winter Loss and National Management Surveys and the annual reports can be found online at http://beeinformed.org/.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact us at askbeeinformed@PROTECTED. Once again thank you for your participation.
