    What is it all about?

    This project supports the continuation of the National Bee Pest Surveillance Program (NBPSP), a coordinated, risk-based initiative to detect exotic and regionally significant bee pests.  

    The five-year program will establish and maintain a coordinated, targeted, and risk-based surveillance program designed to enable the early detection of bee pests across Australia. It will target exotic or regionally significant pests and operate at a minimum of 8 highest risk ports using the most effective techniques for each pest or pest bee target. 

    The overarching objective is to protect pollination services and grower returns by maintaining Australia’s biosecurity status and supporting the resilience of the honey bee sector.

    Details

    This project is a strategic levy investment in the Hort Innovation Almond, Apple & Pear, Avocado, Blueberry, Cherry, Dried Prunes, Dried Tree Fruit, Macadamia, Melon, Passionfruit, Rubus, Strawberry, Summerfruit, and Vegetable Funds, and part of Hort Innovation's Frontiers program.
