Take Introduction to Bees and Beekeeping with @NCSUApiculture and Dr. Tarpy! #gowolfpack 🐺#saschat #dataforgood

A5. State and local county beekeeping clubs, county extension offices, and university entomology departments often have great resources and classes you can take. In fact, @NCSUapicutlure has a great series of classes - https://t.co/Fl0qrmR1oO #SASchat #DataforGood #Honeybees

A5: To become a beekeeper means to become a farmer. It’s a job & commitment that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Poorly managed hives can cause stress to other bees. To become a good keeper, find a mentor, join a beekeeper club, & always be willing to learn! #saschat #dataforgood

Q5: What resources are helpful to get started in beekeeping? #SASchat #DataforGood

[Bee Downtown @BeeDowntown]

A4: Honeybees don’t need “saving”. They’re managed agriculture. As a super-social indicator species we can study them to better understand the overall health of all pollinators. Honeybees are a great way to begin a conversation on environmental stewardship! #saschat #dataforgood

Q4: What can the general public do to help save the bees? #SASchat #DataforGood

[Bee Downtown @BeeDowntown]

A4: The best way an individual can contribute to pollinator health is to help reduce habitat fragmentation. Help by planting native plants, spraying less, and leaving natural areas in your lawn. Think, “is my lawn supporting life, or is it on life support?” #saschat #dataforgood

Q4: What can the general public do to help save the bees? #SASchat #DataforGood

[Bee Downtown @BeeDowntown]

A3: Beekeeping is an agricultural entity. You are always deeply aware of weather and temperatures. The beekeeping season ie., nectar flow, medical treatments, honey harvest, pest pressure, and more is heavily correlated with nature’s seasons. #saschat #dataforgood

Q3: How does weather affect honey bees? #SASchat #DataforGood

[Bee Downtown @BeeDowntown]

A2: There are lots of new technologies to help keepers maintain a watchful eye on their hives remotely. @SolutionBee helps us track many of our hives on corporate campuses.But even without technology available, a good beekeeper always keeps very detailed inspection notes #saschat

Q2: What technologies can beekeepers use to monitor their hives? #SASchat #DataforGood

[Bee Downtown @BeeDowntown]

A1: there’s a multitude of factors contributing to honeybee and pollinator decline as a whole. 4 main factors many people refer to as the “4 Ps” include: pests, pesticides, poor management, & poor nutrition. #saschat
