*Bee Disease Insurance (BDI)

BDI covers the insured for the statutory destruction of bees, honey and equipment only for American or European foul brood.

Total Colonies
total of 4 to 5 add £2.00
total of 6 to 10 add £5.25
total of 11 to 15 add £7.75
total of 16 to 20 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.

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

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.
