Bee Informed Partnership

Technical transfer team - the tech transfer teams consist of trained field specialists who offer regular on-site hive inspections and sampling for large commercial beekeepers and queen breeders. The data they collect help provide large-scale beekeepers with the knowledge to make management decisions to maintain healthy colonies. Emergency response kits, sentinel apiaries and other programs - these programs are educational and monitoring tools that help small-scale to large-scale beekeepers to monitor the health of their colonies and to contribute to the national honey Bee health database. Many of these data are publicly available on bip's website for beekeepers, researchers, policy experts and the public.
