Please be aware that there has been an increasing number of reports of EFB in our locality. As this is a serious and notifiable disease beekeepers should ensure they are familiar with the symptoms and are also registered on Beebase. If you suspect you may have an instance of EFB in one of your colonies you can contact the relevant seasonal bee inspector who will visit, inspect and test all of your hives in your apiary. The act of registering with Beebase will also ensure that if there are confirmed cases within range of your apiary you will be contacted.
