Samples Submitted by Beekeepers for Analysis of Exotic Pests in England - 2008

This dataset provides figures for the number of samples submitted for testing by beekeepers. The dataset gives figures for samples submitted during 2008, and is broken down to county level within England only. This dataset includes the following fields: Region; County; No. of samples submitted; No. of samples with Small hive beetle; No. of samples with Tropilaelaps. Please note: this dataset has been drawn from a live database available via the NBU website. This is a dynamic system, which has been sampled here at a single point in time, but which reflects system amendments/data updates in the 'live' environment. This could cause the data to change over time, as data is updated or amended retrospectively. County data is reflective of the counties stored in BeeBase, and may not necessarily reflect current recognised counties/unitary authorities. Neither Small hive beetle nor Tropilaelaps mites have been confirmed in the UK to date.
