Alan Hart of the BFA on Season 2015
BBC R4's Farming Today had a piece on bees.
Honey in very short supply this year .... 40% down in parts of the West ...... disastrous in Scotland ..... up to 60-75% down for Scotland and the Borders ...... difficulty meeting wage costs ......
Weather poor for queen mating .... queens laying unfertilised eggs .....
Varroa still the main threat.
