Abstract
The BEE AWARE expert system for the diagnosis and management of honey bee diseases, pests, parasites and predators has been developed and tested as a new means of transferring up-to-date information to beekeepers. Funding for government agencies traditionally responsible for the control of honey bee diseases is being reduced in many states, and completely eliminated in others. Extension positions and budgets for apiculture programs are also being cut. With the introduction of two new parasitic mites and incidents of disease on the rise, there is increasing need to make up-to-date information readily available to beekeepers. BEE AWARE consists of educational information, diagnosis, and other information on the control and management of diseases, pests, predators and parasites of honey bees. The program has been tested with users for a year and is available commercially for minimal cost.
