Canberra bee disease notification

If we can be serious for a minute...

We are extremely passionate about bee health in the Canberra region. It's for this reason that we have created this page to track and report any cases of serious bee diseases that we have identified when working with local beekeepers.

This page displays a record of of American Foul Brood (AFB) and European Foul Brood (EFB) occurrences that our beekeepers have identified in local Canberra hives to alert beekeepers in the surrounding areas in an attempt to limit the spread of these diseases and the impact they have on backyard bee colonies.

If you have concerns about the health of you hive, or need further information, please continue to the Forum.
