2025 Layens Horizontal Hives Colony Survey

Part 2 - Your Apiary and Your Bees

Part 2 will focus on your apiary conditions, where you are getting or collecting your bees, methods you use, and splitting. Basically, where are you keeping your bees and how are you maintaining and possibly expanding your apiary.

Again, please help us and the Layens community by sharing your colony information. Final results will be shared with the community once the survey is complete.

Thank you for your participation.
