CE: Honey Bees: Foulbrood Disease, Biosecurity, Diagnosis and Treatment
Thank you for joining us on March 19th for an evening dedicated to honey bee health and the protection of our pollinators. Your engagement and curiosity help strengthen the veterinary community’s role in supporting sustainable beekeeping and biosecurity in Manitoba.
We hope the session provided practical insight, valuable tools, and a deeper understanding of bee biology, disease identification, and diagnostic services.
Thank you again for being part of this important conversation.
