The Small Hive Beetle, Aethina tumida, has resurfaced in Sicily after a four-year absence. Two sentinel hives have tested positive – one in central Messina and another just outside the city. This parasitic beetle is notorious for the damage it causes to honey bee colonies. Its presence has prompted Sicilian authorities to initiate containment measures to protect the island’s apiculture sector from further harm.
