Northern Ireland 2025/26 winter bee losses

முதலில் தெரிந்தவை

• 130 honey bee colonies were lost in a single winter among the Northern Ireland beekeepers who answered AFBI’s latest husbandry survey. They had started winter 2025/26 with 570 living colonies: roughly one colony in four did not make it through. That is an improvement on the previous winter, but still a substantial loss—not evidence, on its own, of a recovery.
