Project Apis m. seeks projects that will ultimately improve honey bee health. Our main areas of focus include: - pests and disease prevention and control,
- honey bee nutrition,
- impacts of pesticides on bees, and
- long-term honey bee stock improvement.
We are looking for projects that fill the gaps in honey bee research,
and benefit honey bees and agriculture in the USA and Canada. The
reviewers will ask questions that ensure the commercial beekeeping
community will benefit from the research and its application. For
example, PAm seeks research projects that will: - Enhance the economic viability of pollination businesses.
- Provide practical solutions for managed colonies.
- Yield results that can be efficiently transferred into field practice.
- Provide an excellent rate of return for beekeepers and farmers.
Anticipated funding: $5,000-$200,000. PAm funding is dependent on the project and the
goals. We have funded from $5,000 - $200,000. Typically, proposals are
in the range from $20,000 to $40,000. |
