Hi all,I would like to further add to this issue of EFB. Having spoken at
length to Bob Mold and Celia Smith yesterday; EFB is more widespread than you
think. Also bear in mind not all beekeepers are registered with BBKA or
Beebase, this is where the problem exists. I would advise all bee keepers to
know the signs of EFB , read up on the prevention rather than the cure, to
quote Mr Kemp ( A Bee Inspector of many a year) "EFB is a ghost disease it can
get better", but only with a strong colony, as they clean out the
rubbish,....again those collecting swarms be aware of the risks
bringing them into your apiary.
Regards
Martin Robinson

Steve, i dont know where you heard this rumour but i have not been told that
there is EFB at Cranwell. As the only beekeeper at Cranwell im sure i would
have been told - there is however a concern over EFB in the Sleaford area and
inspectors are working with those concerned.
Best wishesSimon Croson

Hi Simon
Hope all is well. I heard a nasty rumour yesterday that there was EFB at
Cranwell, do hope it isnt true, and especially its not any of yours.
I may be in the market for another nuc soon, how are you fixed?
Steve
