> Europe has the second-highest number of managed honey bee colonies worldwide at 25.4 million (FAO, 2021). This includes data from 33 countries
But how accurate is the 'data'? We 'know' for example that less than half the colonies in the UK are registered with the National Bee Unit (registration is voluntary), so did the 'data' include an estimate for those?
Best wishes
