Beekeepers are strongly advised to register on  BeeBase  –  the National Bee Unit’s website.

As part of the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), it supports DEFRA, Welsh Government and Scotland’s Bee Health Programmes and the Healthy Bees Plan, which helps us protect our bees by keeping us informed on honey bee pests and diseases. There is also a very useful varroa calculator tool.

Please see our pages on the various Pests, Diseases and other Colony Disorders.
