Scottish Beekeepers AssociationBee DiseasesThe early discovery and treatment of bee diseases is essential in order to maintain healthy stocks of honeybees throughout the country. The Bee diseases Convener for the SBA is: Alan Teale, 8 Mayfield Road, Inverness, IV2 4AE, tel. 01463 226411 The Convener plays a vital role in coordinating and advising on an appropriate response and treatment in the event of disease outbreaks, and has a particularly important part to play as Varroa is now established in Scotland. If disease is suspected or discovered in members' colonies, Alan Teale can help advise on the appropriate course of action and put beekeepers in touch with the relevant officers from SGRD (the Scottish Government Rural Directive) whose animal diseases unit can also provide help and advice. Beekeepers will also find detailed information and downloads about bee diseases in the beekeeping section of the Central Science Laboratory (CSL).
