The 2024/2025 US Beekeeping Survey is now live! This survey is meant to gather information about trends in colony losses over time, and is open to participation from beekeepers of all operation sizes. The survey is hosted by the Apiary Inspectors of America (AIA) in collaboration with Auburn University.
Especially considering the recent large-scale losses that beekeepers are facing at this time, I highly encourage you to participate and to share this survey with your beekeepers. Completing this survey contributes valuable information about long-term honey bee health trends. The results of surveys like this will guide scientists' future research efforts and help direct funding to the most impactful issues. This survey is nation-wide, so let's make sure Utah's voice is heard! The survey will be open until April 30th 2025.
To view preliminary results from last year's survey and to participate this year, visit the US Beekeeping Survey page on the AIA website.
