This month is all about bees and we turn to Heather Hendrickson who is leading a group of researchers at Massey University who're looking to eradicate American Foulbrood (AFB) disease in honey bees. If the disease is detected in a hive it has to be destroyed within seven days. Heather's lab and team are looking for bacteriophages which are viruses which could kill off AFB.
