What is DASH?

DASH, or the Disease Assurance Scheme for Honeybees, is a rigorous inspection and certification program designed to ensure the health and disease-free status of honeybee colonies in the United Kingdom. DASH provides beekeepers and customers with confidence that the bees they purchase are in excellent condition and are free from many of the common diseases and pests that can affect honeybee colonies.

DASH covers various aspects of honeybee health, including:

  1. Disease-Free Assurance: The program ensures that honeybee colonies are free from specific diseases like American Foulbrood and European Foulbrood.

  2. Pest Control: DASH guidelines include effective measures for managing and preventing common bee pests.

  3. Bee Welfare: The welfare and well-being of the bees, such as access to food, water, and suitable living conditions, are assessed.
