The Czech Republic’s honey production is expected to be very low this year, Czech Radio reported this week. According to data from the Czech Beekeeper’s Union, Czech honey production will be about 15 percent lower than last year. One of the main reasons behind the drop in honey production are unfavourable weather conditions, namely a cold spring and dry summer, which resulted in a lack of nourishment. Some bee colonies were also decimated by diseases, especially by the Varroa mites.
