Bee Informed Partnership

Bee Informed Partnership (BIP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving honeybee health and sustainability. BIP takes a fourfold approach to achieving this aim by: 1) conducting an annual survey of US beekeepers to monitor the country's colony health and mortality rates and what management practices beekeepers have employed to help to minimize colony losses; 2) facilitating honey bee educational outreach and research programs conducted by scientists and educators across the world by making our colony health and survey data publicly available through our interactive online platform https://research.beeinformed.org/ engaging citizen beekeepers to increase awareness of the major threats facing honey bees and to encourage them to monitor and manage the health of their colonies; and by 4) providing field and laboratory honey bee health support services to commercial beekeepers who manage the vast majority of the country's honey bee colonies.
