UCANR IPM-Sharing science-based solutions for your pest problems

IPM is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant varieties. Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed according to established guidelines, and treatments are made with the goal of removing only the target organism. Pest control materials are selected and applied in a manner that minimizes risks to human health, beneficial and nontarget organisms, and the environment.

UCANR Master Beekeeper program

The California Master Beekeeper Program (CAMBP) is a continuous train-the-trainer effort. The CAMBP’s vision is to certify Honey Bee Ambassador, Apprentice, Journey, and Master level beekeepers so they can effectively communicate the importance of honey bees and other pollinators within their communities, serve as mentors for other beekeepers, and become the informational conduit between the beekeeping communities throughout the state and UCCE staff. Explore the Certifications Page for more information.

Wondering if beekeeping is right for you? We recommend to start by asking yourself these 9 Questions to Ask Yourself Before you Start Beekeeping.

Our mission is to disseminate science-based information to stewards and ambassadors for honey bees and beekeeping. This includes local, state, and federal regulatory information like the California State Apiary Act.
