Bee Diseases, Parasites & Afflictions

There are many diseases to which honey bees can succumb, some of which are serious and require notification of the relevent authorities.

Some are less serious and can be treated or dealt with by the beekeeper.

Some things are sometimes wrongly called "disease" notably infestations of parasitic mites.

This page is not a definitive source of information. There is much information about diseases already on the web (link to MAFF) This page provides a collating point for the odd snippets of information that are not yet in the mainstream.

If you have such morsels of information please Email me so that I can record them here.
