Paper Accepted- We need your help!Do you have a subscription to a scientific journal? Unless you work in academia- probably not.  Oftentimes scientific studies are only available to academics who have subscriptions through their Universities. In the bee research world, this can keep information from the people who matter most: those working directly with the bees- the BEEKEEPERS! We want our work accessible to everyone-beekeepers, researchers, and the public alike! Please spread the word and visit our GoFundMe page to make a small donation.

Home sick: Effects of migratory beekeeping on honey bee disease

University of Vermont

Crop pollination by migratory beekeeping operations presents a highly concentrated convergence of bees where diseases may be transmitted and spread as hives are transported throughout the US. To test if migratory operations contribute to the spread of disease, we propose an experiment where we subject hives to almond pollination in California and compare their disease loads to stationary hives in N. Carolina. Upon the return of the migratory hives, we will measure subsequent disease spread.
