If you’re interested in what’s going on with honey bees in New York State, you can read the new NYS Beekeeper Tech Team 2020 Report.

From the NYC Beekeeper Tech Team website… ” In response to rising concerns of honey declines across the state, the New York State Pollinator Protection Plan announced the development of the NYS Beekeeper Tech Team.

The Beekeeper Tech Team is an interdisciplinary group that works directly with beekeepers to improve honey bee health, reduce colony losses, and increase profitability of the beekeeping industry. The program began in August 2016 and is open to hobbyists, sideliners, and commercial beekeepers who operate a beekeeping business that generates $1000 in revenues each year. The Tech Team meets with participants to provide them with data from their colonies and recommendations that they can implement in their operations. “
