Michigan State University Bailey Bees
« on: March 30, 2016, 01:37:42 pm »
Hello!

My name is Alex and I am the leader of The MSU bee club, also known as Bailey Bees.

I currently am In a Business class, and I am coming up with an idea to create an innovative web platform for everything beekeeping.

Apart of my project is to have research data, data that would be showing the increase of urban beekeeping in the United States. I have looked all over but have not found any good numbers or graphs that shows the trend of urban beekeeping within the last few decades or so.

Do any of you know where I should look? or if such a thing exists?

Thank you for the help!

I will have to do a bit of searching.. I recall seeing a graph that showed the upsurge in beekeeping since the arrival of "CCD" and the news coverage stating how endangered our bees were/are..
   You could check with the department of agriculture in most states, they keep track of the amount of registered hives. You could use those numbers to create your own graph.

You can count Michigan out.  :\'(
We don't register hives or yards.
I stopped at both the Mecosta County and Montcalm County extension offices. When I asked for any information on Honey Bees or Beekeeping. I was told it's available on the internet.

hi alex and WELCOME!!!

best wishes to you on your web platform on all things bees!  not sure, or have yet to see any graph of the trend of urban beekeeping in my travels.  like scott said, might have to take the numbers and create your own graph.

good luck, and hey..... stick around and join in on our great forum!

that's all our extension had to offer, pamphlets or on the web so I jumped in with both feet. no time to wait around. just contacted again by email to see what they have to offer now a year later for bees and monarchs since they are on the list as well. i'll keep the forum posted. I think the co-op electric company is working on preserving more of the natural habitat for monarchs! it's a start.
