Seeking Solutions for Sustainable Beekeeping

The funding sponsor for these proposals is the Healthy Hives 2020 initiative (HH2020), with Project Apis m. (PAm) administering the proposal, accountability and funding process. HH2020 is an initiative of the Bayer Crop Science Bee Care Program with the goal of improving the health of honey bee colonies in the United States by the year 2020. In June 2015, BCS kicked-off HH2020 with a two-day multi-stakeholder workshop to discuss current status of bee health and identify key areas for research. This RPF marks the second round of solicitation for HH2020 funding. Projects funded in year 1 are summarized here.
Please see the PAm 2017 HH2020 Request For Proposals for priority areas for funding and more information.

I have seen bee keepers replace harvested honey with sugar. Isn't this a poor diet for bees?

It is a good practice to only take only surplus honey- beekeepers place extra boxes on hives and then harvest the excess. It is not recommended to harvest honey stored below, in the brood nest. Bees eat honey to survive winter (colonies in cold regions should weigh 100lbs!), but it is possible to give the bees sugar if they have not stored enough honey. Natural nectar is very similar to simple sugar syrup, although there are trace minerals, enzymes and proteins in floral nectars that distinguish it- which is why honey tastes better than sugar syrup to us!
