Swedish authorities are warning beekeepers of a growing number of cases of European Foulbrood, a serious bee disease. The Swedish Board of Agriculture has noted the increase, prompting the Kalmar County Administrative Board to urge heightened vigilance among local beekeepers. Erik Olsson, a bee inspector in Kalmar Municipality, reports that professional beekeepers are particularly distressed by the outbreak. European Foulbrood affects bee larvae and can quickly decimate colonies if left untreated. The warning emphasizes the importance of monitoring bee health and reporting any suspected cases promptly. The increased incidence is causing concern for honey production and overall bee population health in the region.
