Online survey for beekeepers

An online survey was launched by the Department of Agricultural Economics of Ghent University (Belgium) with the aim to collect and analyse beekeepers' attitudes, management decisions, production efficiency and determinants.

The survey is available in 12 different languages here.

Findings of the study will be available in 2022.

The survey is part of the Horizon 2020 European research project B-GOOD, which aims to provide guidance for beekeepers and help them make better and more informed decisions.

Objectives of the B-GOOD project include:

• Facilitate decision-making for beekeepers and other stakeholders by establishing ready-to-use tools for operationalising the HSI (Health Status Index)

• Test, standardise and validate methods for measuring and reporting selected indicators affecting bee health

• Explore the various socio-economic and ecological factors beyond bee health

• Engender a lasting learning and innovation system (LIS)

• Minimise the impact of biotic and abiotic stressors
