While the extent of losses through this past fall and winter has not been fully realized, we encourage each one of you to speak out for yourself and the industry as a whole. The bee industry has the attention of the USDA, and both the ARS and FSA are working to determine what each agency can do to assist the US Beekeepers and looking into what level of asssitance they can provide.
In order for the FSA to make the best decision possible they need accurate and abundant data.
