Project Apis m.’s Seeds for Bees’ 2022–2023 Season Enrollment Open Now!

4/14/2023

10 Comments

 
Picture
Apply for Free Seed! Seeds for Bees program enrollment is now open in California and applications will be accepted until August 31st. Each year, we aim to plant more cover crop that is mutually beneficial for both growers and beekeepers. The 2022-2023 crop year brought challenges for beekeepers and growers as historic rains complicated the transport of bees and orchard management. These rains also highlighted one of the benefits of cover crops: water management. Established plantings were visibly helpful in abating standing water and reducing erosion.

Honey Bees and Blueberries with Dr. Sarah Wood-Bring Your Questions!

3/16/2023

1 Comment

 
Picture
Blueberries are native across North America and it seems like in as many regions as they grown, there are at least as many questions about what happens to honey bees when they pollinate this major cash crop.
 
Beekeepers weigh concerns about European foulbrood and fungicides and consider if the pollination fees are worth the potential for damage to their colonies. In some growing regions in Canada the government is helping boost rental fees because there aren’t enough colonies to meet demand.(1)

To provide answers for beekeepers over the years, Project Apis m. has funded several research projects with scientists studying the subject-beginning as long ago as 2008!(2)

My academic path to graduate school was not as straight forward as most of my peers. In fact, I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for some key people that believed in my potential and invested in my career. I was born in Northeast Brazil and lived in my hometown until I graduated from college. During my final year of undergrad, I applied for an agriculture internship in Minnesota, U.S.A, where I met my PhD advisor.  Dr. Marla Spivak was the first person to believe in me as a honey bee scientist.
