SUMMARY:Managing Risks in Beekeeping: Understanding the Apiculture Rainfall Index Insurance Program
DESCRIPTION:Apiculture Rainfall Index Insurance (API) is a relatively new insurance product offered by the USDA Risk Management Agency. API is meant to insure beekeeping operations against lower-than-average rainfall which could decrease honey production and/or affect colony health.
