If countries like Australia who didn’t welcome cute little bunnies would shoot airplane passengers the back for forgetting to discard that apple or banana in our suitcase or carry-on, why should we accept foreign bees into this country?

Will the importation of foreign bees stop only when is really IS too late?

Cop on Ireland.

In reply to pat. Shame about your nuc - it’s always tricky getting them through the winter even if they’re very strong with loads of stores there’s always the chance that the queen will fizzle out. They break your heart!

Hello CivilEngineerDonegal,
In my opinion, yes – there should be a ban on imported species.
For more information on the Irish bee have a look at the Native Irish Honey Bee Society website http://www.nihbs.org
