2nd Brood Monitoring Window Open! Let’s go Texas Master Beekeepers! Don’t forget to keel track of your time spent on this towards your public service hours!🐝
Happy New Year's citizen science beekeepers! The second round of our expanded US Capped Brood Monitoring Program (https://aub.ie/winterbrood) is open to beekeepers from Jan 2-4.
If Dr. Reed Johnson from The Ohio State University can open up colonies in winter for a quick check, then so can you! 😎
Each beekeeper inspection should take 2-3 minutes per colony, with minimal disturbance; we are looking for a Yes or No for presence of Capped Brood.
Please help us get to our target of 10 beekeeper participants per state! For a demonstration video and to submit your information, go to: https://aub.ie/broodcsi
