For information on diseases and pests of the Honey Bee, please see this very handy bilingual booklet produced by the WBKA.
Videos
At the WBKA Council meeting last Saturday, Frank Gellatly, Regional Bee Inspector, reported that there were two videos that Welsh beekeepers might be interested in.
One is of a disease inspection he carried out with a bee farmer and the other is on American Foul Brood (AFB).
Warning!!
Our bee inspector has issued a warning about colony starvation so please ensure that you urgently check your hives for stores and act appropriately.
Also note, that with the weather warming up over the weekend, there is a high risk of swarming, so get in there asap and check your colonies before they fly away!!
