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.

Alan Hart is right as far as SW Scotland is concerned. Thank you for the link, Gavin.

Seems to be a bit of a mixed bag in ireland, some have honey and others don't , it seems to be apiary location related rather than beekeeping technique
