I’m after some help please.
I am giving a talk in a few weeks time on “Clearing honeybees”, as part of my Advanced Husbandry exam.
I thought I would carry out some basic research on what methods people use to clear bees and why they have made that choice, with a view to seeing if there is a difference with experience, number of colonies, etc.

To collect responses I’ve generated an online survey, which I’d be really grateful if you would complete for me please. It will take you about 3 minutes. Link below. Thank you in anticipation.

It's worth noting that this survey seems to have been closed by the author now, having achieved 100 responses. Just to save people the effort of trying to find it to complete. Would have been nice if the author could have posted a note to that effect.

What did I get out of it?
Knowing that I have helped someone who asked nicely. I must be one of the 100 as I responded the same day.

Good luck with your presentation Buntybees.

What help did you get for your efforts ? What info did you derive from it ? Has it helped your beekeeping knowledge ? Do you think the results will be skewed if only people who respond without thought of a reply respond ? Just wondering ?
I think if folks want to survey they should at least share the results with those who respond, if not who learns by it ?
