Bee Informed Partnership is excited to announce that on Monday, April 10th,
at 6:30pm ET / 3:30pm PDT, we will host guest speakers Dr. Marla Spivak
(University of Minnesota), Dr. David Tarpy (NC State University), and Dr.
Garett Slater (USDA-ARS) for a panel discussion centered around the joint
topics of queen breeding and genetic diversity.

As beekeepers, many of us wonder about our queens and how they influence our
beekeeping practices. Are they hygienic? Will they produce a lot of honey?
Are they Italian, Caucasian, Carniolan, etc., and what does that really
mean? How far down do their desirable traits get passed onto future
generations? The list can go on and on, and that's what we'd like your help
with!

If you could ask the experts a question about the impacts of queen breeding
and genetics in honey bees, what would it be? Please submit any questions
you may have to this Google Form

by Monday, April 3rd! We'll do our best to ask your question during the
panel.
