Beekeeper Insights on Honey Bee Nutrition Supplements

Description

The Beekeeper Insights on Nutrition Supplements project helped to identify critical beekeeper knowledge, perspectives, and objectives related to nutrition supplements. This assessment identified key trends, challenges, and approaches to supplemental feeding. The assessment identified that the research areas prioritized by beekeepers are discovering the key nutrients in natural pollen, using supplements to fight diseases, and field tests comparing nutrition supplements for efficacy. Beekeepers want better access to transparent, field-validated research with results that they can directly implement to improve their supplemental feeding strategies.
