The day will consist of lectures and practical sessions covering: American Foulbrood (AFB), European Foulbrood (EFB) as well as other bee diseases, an update on Asian hornet and notifiable pests, apiary hygiene, a Bailey comb exchange, a shook swarm demonstration and Varroa.

The main aim of the day is to raise awareness amongst beekeepers about the importance of honey bee health and to demonstrate techniques and best practice.
