This dataset provides figures for the number of apiaries and colonies inspected for Exotic pests by Bee Inspectors from the National Bee Unit (NBU), part of the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA). The dataset gives figures for inspections carried out during 2009, and is broken down to county level within England only. This dataset includes the following fields: Region; County; No. of Apiaries Inspected; No. of Colonies Inspected (figures for total number inspected, and number of dead colonies inspected); Number of colonies with Small hive beetle; Number of colonies with Tropilaelaps. Please note: this dataset has been drawn from a live database available via the NBU website. This is a dynamic system, which has been sampled here at a single point in time, but which reflects system amendments/data updates in the 'live' environment. This could cause the data to change over time, as data is updated or amended retrospectively. County data is reflective of the counties stored in BeeBase, and may not necessarily reflect current recognised counties/unitary authorities. Neither Small hive beetle nor Tropilaelaps mites have been confirmed in the UK to date. Attribution statement: ©Crown Copyright
