Abstract:
Following the completion of the first year of the Colony Loss Surveys (0535-0255) NASS received requests from bee and honey producers to change the questionnaires for both the 'Bee and Honey Surveys' and the 'Colony Loss Surveys' to make it easier on the producers to complete the questionnaires. NASS met with key data users and they agreed that the changes would be better.
