Bayer Chemical’s Feed a Bee program has awarded more than $650,000 in forage grants across all 50 U.S. States, with the final round of applications currently in review. A couple of the projects where Feed a Bee made a difference included the Gateway to the Arctic Camp in Alaska, the Living Coast Discovery Center in San Diego, and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Dr. Becky Langer-Curry is project manager with North American Bee Health and Forward Farming and she says Bayer has been committed to supporting the environment and finding solutions to pollinator challenges for 30 years. “: Our experts are continuously conducting research to develop new technologies and protocols. Our number one priority is finding solutions to the issues facing honeybees and other pollinators whether it's through innovative technologies or through our ongoing partnerships and education initiatives. We're constantly searching for ways to improve hype conditions and Colony health. We recently launched an E flip book on healthy hives 2020 which is a multi-year one million dollar research initiative to find measurable attainable solutions for improving the health of U.S. honeybee colonies.”

One potential solution that I discovered a couple of years ago was an inventor who figured out away to heat beehives to a temperature that didn't harm the bees but killed predatory mites.
