Welcome to the National Bee Diagnostic Centre
Our National Bee Diagnostic Centre (NBDC) is the first comprehensive laboratory in Canada to provide a full array of diagnostic services for honey bee and native bee pests, pathogens, and parasites.
NBDC provides diagnostic services for beekeepers, researchers and agencies across Canada. We use microbiology, microscopy and molecular techniques to identify pathogens that affect the health of all pollinators.
NBDC is proud to be part of the Technology Access Canada network, providing applied research, training, outreach, and innovation services for the beekeeping, pollination, and species conservation communities.
We are More Than Just Bees
In addition to apiculture, the NBDC facility has the tools and resources to support research and diagnostics for a variety of industries across the agriculture and forestry sector (animal nutrition and forage quality, crop and animal residues, pest entomology, and bioremediation).
