More Data Collection!

We have another Data collection ask from Robyn Underwood to participate in the overwintering survival survey. We have until the end of the month. This month has gone so fast!

Anyway, Robyn writes:

Hello PA Beekeepers!

As you know, right now we are collecting data about overwintering survival of honey bee colonies in PA using this survey. Surveys like this are used to learn about the impacts of management, land use, and weather and how they interact to affect winter bee survival.  

The Beescape Team is excited to announce that a new online tool, Bee Winterwise, is now available! This tool allows you to explore the data on your own.  

Try it for yourself!  https://beesuite.psu.edu/winterwise/
