And, finally, tonight….Beekeepers in the north are struggling with the invasion of the small hive beetle which is a bee-keeping pest. It can decimate bee colonies - and today OIRSA donated some traps to BAHA. We found out more:
Most of the traps will be distributed to keepers in the north.
Last year, the beetle was detected in a number of hives which were located along the north-eastern border of the Corozal District.
In July, the Ministry of Agriculture in collaboration will be conducting a national apiculture survey.
