control of disease
In recent years man has transported bees into many countries. This has caused two major problems: (1) the spread of bee diseases and (2) the presence of bees in areas wnere their type of behavioural characteristics are The importance of stopping the further spread of bee diseases unsuitable. has prompted the collection by IBRA of all known legislation which seeks to control bee disease. I have prepared a bibliography from this information, and it is now published under the title Laws and regulat}]ions (world-wide . i relating to the importation of bees, the control and notification of bee diseases, and the registration and siting of hives. ;
This bibliogrephy gives details and a brief description of such legislation held in 42 countries, and also lists 15 countries which have no such legislation. Beekeepers will find the bibliography useful as a source of information about the legislation weich is in force. Tdeaily all countries should have some legislation controlling the import and export of bees, and to prevent the spread of bee diseases, and it is hoped that this booklet will also be useful to those countries which have no such legislation, in providing a guide to the types of laws which they require, The bibliography (IZRA Bibliography No. 35) is available from IDRA, price 7.75 or US#14.00, with 5% discount to IBRA members.
