CARL HAYDEN BEE RESEARCH CENTER

Mission: The mission of the Carl Hayden Bee Research Center (CHBRC) is to
conduct research to optimize the health of honey bee colonies, through improved
nutrition and control of Varroa mites in order to maximize production of honey
bee pollinated crops.



COLD STORAGE RESEARCH

This website provides the latest research findings and information on
overwintering colonies in cold storage. The site has information on when to put
colonies into cold storage, and which colonies to put into cold storage. We also
provide access on this site to a program (Cold Storage Overwintering Tool) that
helps beekeepers choose colonies to put into cold storage based on sizes and
Varroa populations in September.



BEEPOP+

BEEPOP+ is a honey bee colony population dynamics program providing daily
predictions on honey bee colony size based on location, time of year, queen
strength and the lifespan of worker bees

Honey Bee Nutrition and Microbiome Research 

Using a combination of laboratory and field approaches we further our
understanding of the diversity, abundance, persistence and functional capacities
of the microorganisms that occur in the hive environment, the alimentary tracts
of queens, workers and developing larvae



USDA Grand Challenge Synergy Project

Creating pollinator landscapes and overwintering practices to increase
pollinator populations in a changing climate



Varroa Mite Research

The Varroa mite (Varroa destructor), an ectoparasite of the honey bee Apis
mellifera, is the most serious pest of honey bees inflicting more damage and
higher economic costs than all other apicultural diseases



Continuous Monitoring of Honey Bee Colonies 

Developing the use of sensors to model bee colony dynamics and to monitor bee
health productivity and performance



Queen Health

Examining the effects of honey bee stressors (seasonal, nutritional,
microbial/pathogenic, and agrochemical) on queen health, productivity, and
interactions with workers.
