2022 WBKA Honey Bee Health Day

Once every four years county beekeeping associations host a team from the National Bee Unit to update members on many aspects of the diseases, pests and pathogens that affect honey bees. Last year, 2022, it was the turn of Wiltshire BKA.

The event took place 3 September 2022 with speakers from the NBU who spoke on exotic pests, EFB, AFB, varroosis and apiary hygiene. The day was led by John Geden, our Regional Bee Inspector, assisted by Avril Earl, our Seasonal Bee Inspector, and other SBIs from neighbouring counties.
