The Bee Informed Partnership

The Bee Informed Partnership aims to tackle the challenges faced by beekeepers by leveraging their real-world experiences. With an unprecedented focus on understanding loss distributions among commercial operations, the initiative highlights critical data points, such as 25% of operations losing over 53% of their colonies. By implementing effective solutions and empowering stakeholders via a robust data management system alongside on-the-ground diagnostic testing, the Partnership seeks to save approximately 86,000 colonies annually, significantly reducing national loss rates.

  4. Distribution of Losses in Commercial Operations (>500 colonies) 2009-2010 Proportion of loss

  5. Distribution of Losses in Commercial Operations (>500 colonies) 2009-2010 25% lost more than 53% of their operation 25% lost fewer than 14 % of their operation

  6. Value of lost colonies • Reduce top 25% losses by ½ • 86,000 colonies saved in survey population • Represents $1.29 million in almond rental fees/year • National losses would drop from 34.4% to 19.3%

  7. Extension model that engages stakeholder empowerment (Vannasou 2006).
