The semigroup \(B_0\) is the only 4-element subsemigroup of the 5-element Brandt semigroup \(B_2\), up to isomorphism. Being an inverse semigroup, the semigroup \(B_2\) can naturally be considered an additively idempotent semiring and \(B_0\) is its subsemiring. We show that the semiring \(B_0\) has a finite basis of identities.
