Download Honey bee products – Supplementary Import Risk Analysis

This qualitative risk analysis examines the biosecurity risks associated with the importation of bee products derived from honey bees (Apis mellifera). These risks were previously examined in 2004 (MAF 2004). However, recognising technical advances, reports of newly identified pathogens of honey bees and changes to the OIE Terrestrial Animal Health Code over the intervening 11 year period, a supplementary biosecurity import risk analysis has been requested.
