Description

As the agency reported it.

Activities
The 2026 national honey BEE pests and diseases survey sampling in each participating state will be divided into two sections, 1) longitudinal sampling of 5 beekeepers, and 2) 14 general survey surveillance samples split into 3 or more sampling trips throughout the year. Because the longitudinal sampling should be conducted twice for each of the 5 beekeepers, each state should have a total of 24 samples at the end of the sampling season. Deliverables and expected outcomes: this nation-wide survey has become the most comprehensive honey BEE pest and health survey to date, and provides essential disease and pest load information. This data provides additional benefit through informing and guiding the direction of honey BEE parasite, disease, and pest research and mitigation recommendations for U.S. Apiculture. All of the data collected from the national survey are included in the nationwide BEE informed partnership (BIP) database. This data will help facilitate safe trade, possibly lead to early detection and eradication of exotic pests and improve overall apiary health. Intended beneficiary(IES): both wisconsin apiarists and beekeepers nationwide. Honey bees contribute as much as $18 billion to the value of the agricultural industry nationally due to their pollination efforts. Compared to other livestock, honey bees are ranked third, only behind cattle and pigs, in terms of their economic value. IT is imperative to have a healthy pollinator supply if we wish to continue to produce pollinator dependent fruit, nuts and vegetables.
