Project Apis m is excited to announce our first webinar of 2022. This is a one-hour program on April 5th, at 7:00 pm (EST). 

The event features a presentation by Dr. Vanessa Corby Harris, of the USDA-ARS Carl Hayden Bee Research Center, Tucson, AZ. who will discuss a current research project, entitled, "Toward a more comprehensive assessment of honey bee pollen substitutes."  This research, which was funded by the Healthy Hives initiative in 2020, is a large-scale comparison of commercially available protein supplements and their impacts on bee health. 

The presentation will be followed by a live Q & A with Dr. Corby-Harris, and commercial beekeeper, Blake Shook, of Desert Creek Honey,  who is a collaborator on the project.

Anyone can download a copy of the flyer, and we hope you share this event with friends!

​We hope to see you in April! 

​Every February, the almond bloom pulls about 88% of the country’s honey bee colonies to California for one huge pollination event.1 The pollination migration presents an opportunity to positively impact the health of the majority of the nation’s bees with practices that can also benefit the nation’s almond growers. The cost of colony rentals for pollination has steadily gone up year over year, alongside the increased cost incurred by the beekeeper to provide enough food for the bees and maintain healthy colonies.
