Honey bees under terminal attack again! Take action to prevent The Small Hive Beetle being imported

The Small Hive Beetle is native to Africa. It has been discovered widespread in Europe recently. This beetle is able to completely overwhelm a honey bee colony and results in a situation similar to a dead animal completely infested with maggots. It kills bees, it ruins the honey and the honey comb. In a small country like Scotland this disease will completely destroy our honey bee population. We must act together now or lose an important pollinating insect, a marvellous food supplement and a source of important medical treatments. This disease is decimating honey bee colonies word wide - we need to stop it before it can reach Scotland.
