\n American honeybee colonies have bounced back after a bad year, the annual beekeeping survey finds.<\/p>\n

Beekeepers only lost 22.2 percent of their colonies this past winter, from Oct. 1 to March 31, which is lower than the average of 28.6 percent, according to the Bee Informed Partnership\u2019s annual survey of thousands of beekeepers. It was the second smallest winter loss in the 14 years of surveying done by several different US universities.<\/p>\n

Last winter\u2019s loss was considerably less than the previous winter of 2018-2019 when a record 37.7 percent of colonies died off, the scientists found. After that bad winter, the losses continued through the summer of 2019, when beekeepers reported a 32 percent loss rate. That\u2019s much higher than the average of 21.6 percent for summer losses. Those summer losses were driven more by hives of commercial beekeepers than backyard hobbyists, said bee partnership scientific coordinator Nathalie Steinhauer.<\/p>\n

While the summer losses are bad, winter deaths are \u201creally the test of colony health,\u201d so the results overall are good news<\/a>, Steinhauer said. \u201cIt turned out to be a very good year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Populations tend to be cyclical with good years following bad ones, she said. The scientists surveyed 3,377 commercial beekeepers and backyard enthusiasts in the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne would hope that a lower winter loss means a better 2020 assuming that the weather cooperates and beekeepers don\u2019t end up skimping on colony management,\u201d said University of Montana bee expert Jerry Bromenshenk, who wasn\u2019t part of the study.<\/p>\n

Beekeepers in the US also may be taking more of their colonies indoors in the winter, helping them survive, said University of Georgia entomologist Keith Delaplane. New US Department of Agriculture research suggests putting bees in \u201ccold storage\u201d helps them survive the winter.<\/p>\n

For decades scientists have been watching the population of pollinators \u2014 crucial to the world\u2019s food supply \u2014 shrink. Honeybees, the most easily tracked, are threatened by mites, diseases, pesticides and loss of food.<\/p>\n

Loss rates now being seen \u201care part of the new normal,\u201d Steinhauer said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
