Public plea after outbreak of deadly bee disease
VIGILANCE is being urged by Airedale Beekeepers Association after an outbreak of a highly-infectious honeybee disease.
Three instances of American Foulbrood (AFB) have been reported this spring in the Micklethwaite area.
The bacterial disease is spread by bees coming into contact with honey products, usually imported ones.
