The BeeMD

A diagnostic application for use in the field to identify honey bee health problems

Honey bees play a crucial role in U.S. agriculture, so keeping them healthy is of utmost importance. The BeeMD was designed to help beekeepers quickly identify honey bee health issues they may encounter, such as pests, diseases, or aberrant bee behavior. The BeeMD is an interactive, visually rich, informative, and easy to use website, intended for beekeepers in North America. Signs or indications, descriptions, and additional resources are presented in fact sheets for each honey bee or hive condition. An interactive Lucid key enables you to match occurrences in your hive to possible conditions.  A filterable image gallery is also included, offering an image-based option to find and learn about honey bee health problems.
