There’s been EFB in west and north Leeds. The bee inspector came to check our apiary a few weeks ago, and all was well. But last week my bee buddy and I spotted something not quite right in the brood box. The season had been going well, but was all going to crumble around us?
We contacted the bee inspector immediately. He asked for photos of the problem. We spent several days in the throes of despair, waiting for his response. But, sweet relief, he tells us that it’s sac brood, that he’s seen more of it this year than usual, and that it won’t be a problem in a well kept hive.
