NASS is planning a Local Foods Special study to provide comprehensive geographically represented farm-level data. A Honey Bee Colonies report containing loss information was released May 12, 2016. NASS will publish state-level estimates on number of colonies, colonies lost, colonies added, and colonies affected by certain stressors.
In December 2016, NASS published the results from the Local Foods Survey. This was the first publication of data looking into the marketing channels utilized by producers to market their products locally. Data provided insights into four marketing channels; direct to customer, direct to retailer, direct to institutions, and sales to intermediate markets. In January 2016, NASS began a new survey to collect data to measure the cost of honey bee pollination to crop producers. The January survey collected data for 2015, and a second survey in November collected data for 2016. A publication for both years was released in December 2016. In May 2016, the first Honey Bee Colonies report was released, which included colony loss information along with colony health stressors. In April 2016, NASS released the Floriculture Crops, 2015 Summary. This release contains production, price, and whole value information for the 2015 crop year.
