Bees need our help because they under threat from climate change, modern farming methods, environmental pressures plus various pests and diseases. Nearly all the honey bees that you might come across will be from a managed hive. There are almost certainly no wild honey bees left in the wild the UK. Thank you to Stewart Beattie, Cumbrian Seasonal Bee Inspector helped us check for American and European Foul Brood using tester kits. Thankfully no disease was found.
