Save the bees and the honey!

Small hive beetle will eat and poo in the honey frames, ruining all the honey that our lovely bees make.
The risk of importing them accidentally through NI is high - the number of packages that'll end up being inspected will be quite a low percentage. I think I read only 10% will be inspected and even then the beetles will be quite hard to spot. It can affect bumblebees too!
If you love local honey and all bees then please sign this petition

Thanks.

Signed. I'm not that bothered by honey, but anything that buggers bees up risks buggering us all up!
