Beezy
House Bee
Hi there,
I received an email from Bee Base today alerting me to the fact that EFB has been discovered less than 5km from my bees. The advice was to 'be vigilant', but at this time of year I wasn't planning on examining my frames and disturbing the bees.
Also, I thought that Spring/Summer was the time when this disease would be likely to be discovered...?
I had a bee inspector visit about 3 months ago due to the fact that I am a new beekeeper. Will he want to come again do you think?
Should I be doing anything? Any advice welcome!
