Description

As the agency reported it.

Purpose
The purpose of this agreement is to provide funding for the monitoring and survey activities for early detection of exotic honeybee pests in rhode island through the national honeybee survey. The national honeybee pests and diseases survey data will be used to ascertain the scope of parasites, diseases, and pests that may have a negative impact on honeybee populations in the U.S. This nation-wide survey has become the most comprehensive honeybee pest and health survey to date and provides essential disease and pest load information.
Activities
Providing samples toward a national survey of honeybee pests and diseases as well as BEE bread samples for pesticide analysis. Five apiaries will be sampled twice as part of the longitudinal survey and 14 apiaries will be sampled as part of the general survey. BEE bread samples will be taken from hives used in the longitudinal survey. The cooperator will also ask the beekeeper to sign a form agreeing to participate in the BIP colony loss and management survey. Deliverables and expected outcomes: presence / absence data for surveyed honeybee pests. Collection of samples from 19 apiaries within the state representing thousands of commercial / migratory honeybee colonies. Results from this survey will provide baseline information on pests, pathogens and pesticides within honeybee colonies in the united states intended beneficiary(IES): connecticut apiarists and united state honeybee producers. Survey efforts will also support U.S. Honeybee queen producers to requests for the opening of and/or continued access to foreign markets such as canada. Robust data, such as past and proposed efforts refute these assumptions, and will provide data needed to remove trade barriers.
