TREATMENT FREE BEEKEEPING SURVEY

Thomas Gfeller, a Swiss beekeeper who has been treatment free for 15 years, is undertaking a survey for his diploma thesis in beekeeping.

He writes:

“I am looking for beekeepers who practise in some form a beekeeping without treatments against varroa mite. The survey is aimed to understand beekeeping practise, colony losses and beekeeping ethics. Also beekeepers who failed in their attempt to work treatment-free are very welcome to participate. It is important that this data can be collected and compared”.

A copy of the survey can be downloaded here. 

The survey is quite detailed, but your help will be appreciated by Thomas.

Deadline for the submission of the questionnaire is March 31. 2023.
