Hello, my name is Katherine Eveleigh and I am a 15 year old student from Bohunt School (Liphook, Hampshire, England, UK) and I am doing an IGCSE in Global Perspectives. For this I need to do an individual project and I have decided to focus mine on the plight of the Honey Bee.

For this I need beekeepers to answer some questions for me... I need opinions from all over the world so if you can help, please please do, It will only take a minute of your time. If you are interested, here are the questions:

1 Which do you think is more detrimental to the craft of beekeeping: Varroa Mites, Colony Collapse Disorder, or another issue and why?

2 How do you deal with these problems?

3 Do you think that different hive styles are better for dealing with or preventing diseases than others and if so, which ones?

4 Which is more of a problem to the honeybees at this point in time in your opinion: Lack of education, lack of food-sources, or too many different diseases?

Thank you for your help.
