I heard recently of a story which appeared in the UK press that British Beekeeping had been awarded stlg12M by EEC for research into bee disease, primarily Varroa. If true, this is ideed good news and I would appreciate any confirmation of the story or other relevant information. Les Simms, Editor, Dromore Buzzette.
