Today was the day of the divisional apiary inspections. I took a day off work to ensure I could come to the apiary and see the disease inspectors check all the hives.
So glad I did though. The inspectors explained to us the symptoms of k-wing, various brood diseases, nosema and Varroa. I learnt so much today, the inspectors were obviously so experienced and so willing to share some of their knowledge. They explained some very important aspects of disease prevention which I am sure will be of huge use in my future as a beekeeper.
And I thought inspectors were all scary.
