NBU Warning - Starvation Risk

With the on-going poor weather, there is a real risk of bee colonies starving. Please check for stores in the colony and if in any doubt feed your bees. You should feed with either a fondant or a thin syrup. Further information on feeding bees can be found in Best Practice Guideline No. 7, on the Advisory Leaflets Page of BeeBase.

Swarm Collectors and FAQ's

If you think you have a swarm of honey bees read our FAQ's before calling a beekeeper.
