Will they also talk about pesticides?

I have recently been to a Bee Health Day in Aberdeen, where the word pesticide was not even mentioned by the bee inspectors.

In light of all the recent research which has proven that neonic pesticides can severely compromise colony health and be the underlying reason for nosema and varroa as well as brood diseases it's crucial that sublethal poisoning of bees is considered when making a health assessment.


If the bee inspector doesn't mention pesticides, I recommend that you ask about them and refuse to get fobbed off with a reply like 'we don't have a pesticide problem in the UK'.

Have a nice time!
