BDI covers the insured for the statutory destruction of bees, honey and equipment only for American or European foul brood . Beekeeping memberships include cover for up to 3 colonies. For those with 4-5 colonies add £2.00, 6-10 colonies add £5.25, 11-15 colonies add £7.75 and 16-20 colonies add £9.50 to the annual subscription rate. Please note to be valid all colonies owned by the beekeeper must all be insured with BDI. BDI is valid from the date of the treasurer’s receipt, but BDI paid after 31 March comes into force only 40 days after the date of the treasurer’s receipt. Full Beekeeping Members and Partner Members are automatically insured for BDI for 3 colonies each. To calculate the total colonies for extra BDI subtract 3 colonies for each Partner Member.

N.B. Make allowance for increases during the season, including swarms or nucs as these count as individual colonies and must be insured accordingly to avoid invalidation of insurance.
