Beekeeper Inspections and Foulbrood Disease in England for 2013

This dataset provides figures for the number of bee keepers inspected 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 2013 and is broken down to county level within England only. This dataset includes the following fields: Region; County; Number of Beekeepers Inspected; Number of beekeepers receiving a positive American Foulbrood (AFB) diagnosis; Number of beekeepers receiving a positive European Foulbrood (EFB) diagnosis; Percentages (of beekeepers with colonies diagnosed positive for either AFB or EFB). 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. Attribution statement: ©Crown Copyright
