Experimenting with some hot honey using freeze dried peppers. Supposedly the flavor will be more intense as the honey slowly re-hydrates the peppers. Jalapeños, Habaneros, Srirachas, and Carolina Reapers.

Maple is part of the team at MSU’s Pollinator Performance Center doing critical pollinator research and education. A retired police K-9, she uses her super sense of smell to detect bacteria in bee colonies to help prevent disease from spreading.

Currently, beekeepers must manually inspect colonies for disease, but dogs like Maple can identify disease much faster, which could make a big impact on the industry.

This project is one of many occurring at the Pollinator Performance Center. Operating since 2021, the center allows MSU to be at the forefront of honeybee and other pollinator research.

Severe and Sudden Losses of Managed Honey Bees Across the Nation
"...recent losses well over 50% with a combined financial loss of over $139M."

As commercial beekeepers in the USA inspect their bees after winter, to transport over 90% of the nation’s managed honey bees to pollinate California almonds, they are discovering alarming colony losses. These losses are severe, broad, and may impact food security through inadequate pollination services. Survey results are still accumulating, but information gathered from 234 beekeepers found average recent losses well over 50%, with a combined financial loss of over $139M. Combined with losses during other times of year, this additional loss puts many beekeepers at a loss rate of 70%-100% over the past 12 months.

These feeders are great! We used them through the dearth this past summer and absolutely love them. With an adjustable flow, they are great for feeding sugar syrup and monitoring and adjusting, if necessary, how much syrup your bees are consuming.

After years of testing and developing the best way for feeding bees, we designed the BRB Feeder.

By providing a steady and controlled amount of feed will maximize the stimulus effect thus promoting healthier bees.

Thank you for supporting local beekeepers! 🐝
