Service Description
As a hobby beekeeper in New Zealand, it's essential to comply with the legal requirement to have your hives inspected for American Foulbrood (AFB) each year. If you don't have a Disease Elimination Conformity Agreement (DECA) from NZ Bee Health & Biosecurity, then you need a Certificate of Inspection verified by an accredited expert.

Legal Compliance: Ensure your hives meet the annual inspection requirement.
Personalised Service: Sarah’s expertise guarantees a thorough inspection with detailed guidance on maintaining hive health.
Its not just about checking for AFB, its whole colony health

How It Works:
Book an Inspection time with Sarah: Schedule your AFB inspection between August 1 and November 30.
Request an inspection through Hivehub: Once Sarah has confirmed that she can check your hive she will email you all the details you need to 'request a COI' through your own hivehub account.
