In case you haven't heard:

Dear Beekeeper,

The Bee Informed Partnership, a joint project among numerous
universities and laboratories, is a project whose aim is to help
beekeepers make better management decisions and thus reduce colony
losses.  To do this effectively, we need beekeepers, lots of
beekeepers, to participate in our survey. We are asking you to please
participate in two surveys.  Both surveys are open only from 30 March
through 20 April 2012.

You can learn more about the Bee Informed Partnership at beeinformed.org.

In advance, thank you for your participation.

National Winter Loss and Management Survey (
http://participate.beeinformed.org/Surveys/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=76KI4p3
).The winter loss survey should take less than 5 minutes and the
management survey should take less than 20 minutes.

The purpose of the Bee Informed Partnership is to use beekeepers' real
world experiences to help solve beekeepers' real world problems. We
will use the data generated from these two surveys to help you decide
which management practices are best for beekeepers like you, who live
where you do and have operations similar to yours.  For this to work,
we need as many participants as possible...so please take the time to
fill out the questionnaire and SEND THIS EMAIL TO ALL THE BEEKEEPERS
YOU KNOW asking them to fill out these questionnaires too.

You can see what type of results we will generate by visiting the
Beeinformed.org website and browsing through our results section.
Currently we are in the process of posting last year’s management
results, so visit the site often to see these results as they are
posted and discussed in our BLOG section.

Depending on the number of participants we hope to have the results
from this year’s survey broken down by region and should have those
results posted within months of the survey close date now that we have
built the infrastructure needed to automate report generation.

Should you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to
contact us at [log in to unmask] or call us at 443.296.2470.

BE INVOLVED, BE INCLUDED, BEE INFORMED.

Thank you,
