What are they checked for???

The last page of the EU health certificate mentions both honey and bumblebees in the same sentence (see attached)

You could make almost all your own equipment, full tutorial in the thread below, and lots of pictures and info of where to obtain just about everything.

No check for virus level then... just that the bees are ( purportedly) from an infection ( American foul brood troph. or SHB) free area.

Very worrying that bees could have been bed and breakfasted in a clean area /
No mention of EFB ( is it rife/ endemic in EU?) or any form of viral infection.

I think things need to be tightened up... maybee Brexit will toughen our importation restrictions up!

Would those checks be done on bees (or any other animal) leaving the UK for any other member state? I doubt that they would.
Remember the "mad cow" problem that curtailed exports of British Beef for so long? If memory serves me right, this was seen as being a British problem but had originated elsewhere in the EU and was already present in herds around Europe.
In any case, this thread is about AI/II - not honeybee disease, so, let's stay on track, shall we?

AI is the way forward perhaps to keep our isles free of some of the disease that would appear to be a problem on the continent.

I was asking the question if AI was being utilised to produce the incredible number of bumble bee pollinators being imported??

( Thought perhaps it could be a lucrative sideline!!!!)
