Concerns remain over the future of bees in the Isle of Man, after a number of hives have been affected by Colony Collapse Disorder and Varoa mites in the United Kingdom and United States.
A petition will be handed over to Agricultural Minister Phil Gawne tomorrow, calling for the prevention of bees coming over from the UK, to stop the spread of the disease.
At the moment the Island's bee population is disease free, and hive owner Cilla Platt is keen to keep it that way:
Search launched after emergency beacon signal activated
Crews responding to Personal Locator Beacon activation within five-mile radius of Snaefell
Fuel costs 'likely to rise' amid Middle East conflict
Chief minister issues update after extraordinary Economy and National Strategy Board meeting
Ramsey Commissioners redacted information 'without justification' in FoI response
Information Commissioner found delayed replies and inconsistencies
Death of MGP competitor deemed accidental by inquest
Louis O'Regan sustained fatal injuries in incident at Kate's Cottage
