The native Britsh bees are already extinct. They were wiped out about 100 years ago by a disease which was known at the time as 'Isle of Wight' disease. It is highly unlikely that this could happen again as the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA) and all British beekeepers are very aware of the problems facing bees both in the UK and worldwide and are doing their utmost through training and education to do whatever is necessary to protect our bees. British beekeepers are also aware of some of the problems facing beekeepers in other countries such as Small Hive Beetle and have been trained how to recognize and deal with it if it should ever arrive in the UK. The biggest single problem currently facing British beekeepers and their bees, is a mite called Varroa Destructor, usually just called varroa, which was first found in the UK in 1992 and has spread and increased in numbers since then. British beekeepers are constantly treating their bees to counteract the adverse effects of varroa and the mites have now become immune to some of the earlier treatments but the war is still being fought.
