Honey bee colony losses are a major concern in the USA and across the globe. Long-term data on losses
are critical for putting yearly losses in context. US colony loss surveys have been conducted yearly since the winter

Honey bee colony losses are a major concern in the USA and across the globe. Long-term data on losses are critical for putting yearly losses in context. US colony loss surveys have been conducted yearly since the winter of 2006–2007. Here, we report the results from the eighth annual survey...
For the past six years in which overwintering mortality of honey bee colonies has been surveyed in the USA, estimates of colony loss have
fluctuated around one-third of the national population. Here we report on the losses for the 2012-2013 seasons. We collected data from 6,482
US beekeepers (6,114 backyard,...
Beginning in 1986 Dr. Mike Burgett of the Honey Bee Lab at Oregon State University began an annual survey of pollination economics in the Pacific Northwest states (OR, WA and ID). The 25th Annual report (2010) was published in Jan, 14 2011 Honey Market News and the BEELINE, newsletter of...
Estimates of winter loss for managed honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies are an important measure of honey bee health and productivity. We used data from 5,500 US beekeepers (5,244 backyard, 189 sideline and 67 commercial beekeepers) who responded to the April 2012 Bee Informed Partnership Winter Colony Loss Survey and...
This study records the fifth consecutive year that winter losses of managed honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies in the USA have been around 30%. In April 2011, a total of 5,441 US beekeepers (an estimated 11% of total US beekeepers) responded to a survey conducted by the Bee Informed Partnership....
The pine butterfly, Neophasia menapia (Felder and Felder), infestation on the Nezperce National Forest was aerially surveyed in mid-August 1972.
A followup ground evaluation was made in September. Results of the survey
show the infestation has increased substantially in intensity and size.
The infestation was first reported in 1971 when...
Over 10,000 acres of aerially visible western hemlock looper defoliation on grand fir was detected on State and Federal forests of central Idaho in 1972. This is the first report of this insect building up
in Region 1 since a widespread outbreak in 1937-39.
The western hemlock looper has the...
