Please note: anywhere within each region that there is a ‘-‘ it is because no information was sent to us for that specific item in that region.

You may notice two new categories in the report above. We have added the price of nucs and packages. Our reporters gave the price of nucs and packages in their area or that they sell.

The reporters have been interested in adding additional categories to the report, so over the past few months, they have written in what they would be interested in seeing. After we collected those results, we asked them what they want to see out of everyone’s ideas and then what they could provide. Over the next few months, you will see new categories start to show up. The first of these is the nucs and packages but it will expand into mite treatment, the honey flow and others! Keep an eye out for those new categories in reports to come!

To the left is the map of our regions. All responses are collected from individuals within each region. If you are interested in becoming a report for Bee Culture, please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/qai8NFY2th3a4c696
