AFB/EFB Reminder
Scottish Bee Inspectorate

With the recent cases of AFB in the Edinburgh and St Andrews areas, the Scottish Government Bee Inpsectorate have issued a reminder to all Scottish beekeepers, which can be read in full by clicking here.
In summary, all Scottish beekeepers should be registered on BeeBase with the correct locations of their hives, to do this please visit
https://www.nationalbeeunit.com/
Once registered, BeeBase will then be able to send you automatic notifications should there be any outbreaks near to your apiary sites.
You should know how to recognise and inspect for both AFB and EFB and carry out regular inspections. Should you need help with this please refer to the National Bee Unit's Foulbrood leaflet, which can be viewed by clicking here or on the image above.
