Protect your bees
BeeBase
BeeBase is a FREE online service provided by the National Bee Unit (NBU) to help protect you and your fellow beekeepers from colony threatening pests and diseases. If there is a disease outbreak in your area, the NBU team uses BeeBase to contact local beekeepers and arrange for precautionary inspections to check for any signs of infection, and to advise on what to do.
BeeBase is also a fantastic source of information on:
- pest and disease recognition and control
- the legislation you need to know
- key contacts in the NBU
- known pest and disease outbreaks through regularly updated interactive maps
- current areas of research into honey bee protection
