One of our members has very recently had EFB in one of her three hives. This hive had to be destroyed by the bee inspector. Unfortunately she also had a swarm in a nuc box. This counts as another hive and the BDI insurance will not pay compensation for her destroyed hive.
I wish this was made this more clear to all the members. Please please pay extra insurance when you increase numbers, and take out extra insurance initially if you think you will take on more. This is especially so if you are collecting swarms, as they all count.
It has been a really swarmy year this year, so if all hives go through the winter we could be faced with even more swarms next year.
