This is the original message from Dr. Wendy Schweigert:
I, along with Larry Krengel and a team of students from Bradley University (Peoria, IL, USA), am conducting research about beekeepers and their characteristics. The results of this research will be used to identify characteristics of those who choose to become beekeepers, to compare various subgroups of beekeepers with each other, and to compare other groups with beekeepers.
If you are 18 years or older and keep bees you are invited to be a part of this research by completing short anonymous survey about beekeepers. We are interested in new beekeepers as well as those who are experienced. Hobbyists, sideliners and commercial beekeepers are all invited to participate. The survey can be found at
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9NSWHZ5 The survey will be available online until February 14, 2010.
If you have any questions about this research please feel free to contact me, Dr. Wendy Schweigert at: wendy@bumail.bradley.edu
