Pests & Diseases
Bees can suffer from a number of problems that the beekeeper needs to monitor and manage. Some of the diseases that bees can be affected by are notifiable and the Bee Inspector and the National Bee Unit should be informed. It is important that beekeepers register on Bee Base so if there are problems in their area they will be informed and take the appropriate action.
