Disease

Bee hives destroyed after disease found in Scots colonies

A number of hives afflicted with American Foulbrood in St Cyrus, Aberdeenshire, were destroyed this week.

There is no treatment for the disease although it poses no danger to humans and does not affect the quality of honey.

Beekeepers have been warned not to move bees or equipment into or out of the affected area.
