We have three objectives for NCR202:

During the project period, we will strive to:

1. Implement integrated pest management strategies to reduce disease and parasitic mite injury to honey bee colonies;

2. Develop and improve honey bee stocks through selective breeding;

3. Educate the public and growers on the value and protection of honey bees as pollinators; and

4. Facilitate the improvement of honey bee management through extension and outreach.
