**CCD.
Colony collapse disorder or sometimes honey bee depopulation syndrome(HBDS) is a phenomenon in which worker bees from a beehive or European honey bee colony abruptly disappear. While such disappearances have occurred throughout the history of apiculture, the term colony collapse disorder was first applied to a drastic rise in the number of disappearances of Western honey bee colonies in North America in late 2006.
*** If you choose to sell your surplus honey via HBAH, we have to by law, conform to strict EEC regulations regarding extraction and labelling. This would only involve a minor administration adjustment.
