In readiness for the new season, it is worth highlighting the value of BeeConnected, to help keep your bees safe.
If you are not already registered, you may wish to consider doing so, as it is valuable tool connecting beekeepers with farmers using crop protection products nearby.
You can register at: https://www.beeconnected.org.uk/
Using their easy to use mapping system, you will receive notifications from registered farmers when they are planning to spray their crops at a proximity of your choosing, up to 5km away.
