- This federal Project Grant award of $700,000.00 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Program (CFDA 10.310) to the Regents of the University of California at Riverside aims to develop and test an electronic sensor framework called "eBeeVet" for monitoring honeybee hives. The project seeks to address the drastic declines in honeybee populations that have occurred over the past two decades, as honeybees provide crucial ecosystem...
- This $300,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) will support the development and testing of the "eBeevet" functional sensor framework designed for bee hives. The framework will utilize machine learning methods to analyze data and propose solutions to address the drastic declines in honeybee populations that have occurred over the past two decades. The project aims to create scalable data management...
- This $750,000 Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310), will fund research to develop a new approach for protecting honey bees against viruses that threaten colony health and pollination services. The project combines expertise in engineered gut symbionts, peptide secretion systems, and honey bee physiology to continuously deliver antiviral peptides within the bee digestive tract....
- This five-year, $2.5 million project grant from the US Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA No. 10.310 program will fund research at Cornell University to understand and control disease spillover in bee communities. The project aims to collect empirical contact data from plant-pollinator networks, quantify disease transmission parameters, and develop dynamic models of disease spread and...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) has awarded a $749,891 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) (CFDA 10.310) to the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) Southeast Area. The funding will support research to develop integrated pest management (IPM) strategies for managing the honey bee parasite Ascosphaera apis, which causes the disease chalkbrood. The project aims to generate quantifiably effective IPM methods...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) awarded a $435,178 project grant to Utah State University to explore and exploit a reservoir of multi-sensor data collected from field experiments with managed honey bee colonies. The project will curate this dataset, which includes thousands of frame photographs and millions of sensor measurements, and make it publicly available to the U.S. precision apiculture community. The university will use...
- This $1,000,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) aims to address significant annual mortality in honey bees (Apis mellifera) due to factors like parasites, diseases, weather, pesticides, and queen loss. The key objectives are to: 1) measure the effects of poor environmental conditions on queen and drone mating behavior, 2) assess mating health across a...
- This $749,651 federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to understand how honey bee-associated microbes affect the health, fecundity, and longevity of honey bee queens and overall colony health. The prime awardee, Trustees of Indiana University, will collaborate with researchers at North Carolina State University and Wellesley College as sub-awardees to conduct field...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $749,720 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) (CFDA 10.310) to Mississippi State University (MSU).
