Farmers Guardian The British Beekeepers Association fears that another 2 billion honey bee will be lost in that country this year, at a cost to the national economy of about £54 million. But there’s also some good news for the beekeeping business in Britain.

The Farmers Guardian reports that the British government will be putting £2.3 million into the National Bee Unit, “to help its efforts to improve beekeeper husbandry and ability to deal with disease,” with a further £400,000 going to bee health research every year for the next five years.
