Dear Beekeeping clubs, associations, foundations, and societies,

I would be very grateful if you could forward the short email and survey link below to your members, and to any other beekeepers who may have an opinion on the subject of wild honey bee colonies.

Thank you and best wishes, Prof. Grace McCormack University of Galway On behalf of the EU FREE-B Project

Dear Beekeeper,

In Ireland, we observe honey bees living not only in managed hives but also in cavities in trees, walls, and roof spaces. As part of a European project called FREE-B, we are seeking information on how beekeepers perceive these ‘free-living’ honey bee colonies.

We would be very grateful if you could share your views by completing the following survey:

Link to survey:   https://forms.gle/ZJcxdqKiYcNzdTQT6 

We will report the results representing Irish beekeepers’ voices back to the beekeeping community at the earliest opportunity, alongside findings from other participating countries.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact

grace.mccormack@universityofgalway.ie

Thank you and all the best.
