I. An outline of the issue, problem, interest, or need for the project
1. Like most agricultural professions, beekeepers are generally over the age of 60 and therefore, the number of beekeepers declines each year. Few interested persons are willing to do more than just experiment with beekeeping.
2. Mites and other diseases have decimated many colonies causing losses to sometimes approach 50 percent. Such losses have discouraged fulltime, sideline operators, and hobbyist alike. Only the most determined continue to pursue this vocation. In the past few years, there have been massive losses of honey bee colonies used for pollination. This is called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and the cause, as of this date, has not been positively identified.
3. Like family farms, sideline beekeeping operations (family run) have declined dramatically. There has been a polarization toward either hobby beekeepers or large- scale, full-time operations with thousands of colonies. The cost of starting or expanding, like other agricultural pursuits, is high. As a result, there is a shortage of local pollination services. • This project seeks to validate the viability of sideline pollination operations and provide the service to regional fruit and vegetable producers. This will reduce reliance on large pollination operations from other regions and provide pollination of crops to help food production for human consumption on a local and regional basis.
II. How the issue or problem was approached via the project
III. How the goals of the project were achieved
1. Equipment was used on new colonies.
2. Equipment not needed by the bees to over-winter was stored.
3. Trailer for beehive transport was purchased, repaired to meet road inspection standards, and licensed/registered. Trailer body was configured to support secure loading and shipment of beehives.
4. Equipment was utilized in the 2009 season and established a base to further expand in the 2010 season.
5. The trailer transport proved successful with 35 colonies being moved with a half-ton truck and trailer to and from the cantaloupe fields in Middlesex County, Virginia. • Phase II. Communicate value and capability to producers Plan:
1. The operator (project manager) used the Internet, extension agents, farm co-ops, farmers markets, Farm Bureau, and other fa...
