Which severe winter was this for?
To be spent on imported Italian bees only.

Last winter was the most benign in many years. Noone I know had significant losses.Originally Posted by Rosie
The beefarmers must be able to spin a good yarn to someone alien to fact checking.
I would have thought that anyone who lost £20k's worth of stocks last winter ought to be seriously considering his career choice. It must have been for some other time, surely???
Maybe the compensation for the 2012-2013 winter - which was very bad, was spread over 2 years.
The beefarmers seemed to suffer far higher percentage losses than most other beekeepers though.
I lost almost all the nucs I was overwintering in 2012/2013 and had to take it on the chin.
Time for a rant about how best to spend taxpayers money.
here is a link, more detailed than the page I initially viewed.
