DO I NEED A VET FOR MY BEES?
When I was getting ready to check the bee yards I tried to order some Terramycin an antibiotic that beekeepers have used for the past 50 years to combat American and European Foulbrood. I found that you now need a prescription from a veterinarian to obtain it. At first I thought it was just more big brother interference in our lives - but it was to try to reduce antibiotics in our system.See: beeculture.com/do-i-need-a-vet-for-my-bees/
