Hello everyone! If you currently grow any kind of beans (green beans, lima beans, soybeans, etc.) on any scale (small garden to large farm) please take a moment to fill out the survey by following the link below. The survey is just one question, and should only take 30 seconds to 1 minute.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BMPM5CY Background: I am a graduate student at Virginia Tech conducting research on an insect called the Mexican bean beetle, *Epilachna varivestis*. This beetle is a pest of various bean species in North America, and possibly some other parts of the world. My goal is to determine the overall geographic range of this insect, as well as where it is most severe. If you have any questions, please email our team at [email protected]. Thank you!
