Stop district in Heiligensee due to American lazy brood

Great relief in Heiligensee! The blocking area around beekeeping imposed by the veterinary supervision is now inverted. This happened after the outbreak of the dreaded American lazy brood, which was officially found on April 18, 2024 - a shock for local beekeeping and an important warning call for bees lovers.

Julia Schrod-Thiel (CDU), the district councilor for order, environment and transport, informed the public about current developments. "In accordance with the applicable legal requirements, a blocking district was set up with the general order from April," she said. Experts acted quickly: the infected inventory was renovated and all beeheses in the restricted area were examined intensively - a total of twice, both clinically and microbiological.

tests show: spellbound!

The results of the tests? Consistently negative! This means that the American lazy brood is now considered to be expired in this blocking area. An important sign of the safety of the remaining bee colonies and a step back to the normalcy for beekeepers.
