National American Foulbrood Pest Management Plan

Primary Objective:

  • To reduce the reported

incidence of American foulbrood (AFB) by an average of:

  • 10% each year (1998 to

2013)

  • 5% each year (2013 to

present)

Proposed AFB Control Strategy

Full implementation of the existing National American Foulbrood Pest Management Plan funded by an increased Levy

  • Current and proposed AFB control actions

evaluated against the principles of national disease control:

  • Identification and registration of apiaries
  • Surveillance to detect AFB
  • Eliminating AFB
  • Preventing the spread of AFB
slide-9
SLIDE 9

Apiary identification and registration

Knowing beehive locations is fundamental to controlling AFB

  • The current apiary registration compliance

programme is largely based upon beekeepers honesty

  • Additional levy funding is required to enable the

Management Agency to implement a robust apiary registration compliance programme

slide-10
SLIDE 10

Surveillance to detect AFB

Knowing where AFB is present and absent is fundamental to controlling AFB

  • The current surveillance programme is dependent

upon beekeepers ability and willingness to detect and report AFB

  • The Management Agency currently does not have

enough information to reliably assess the level of AFB in beekeepers hives, especially when the beekeeper fails to detect and report AFB

  • => The Management Agency is unable to make

transparent and consistent decisions to ensure DECA holders are eliminating AFB as agreed

slide-11
SLIDE 11

Surveillance to detect AFB

Additional levy funding is required to provide the Management Agency with the surveillance information required to assess the level of AFB in beekeeper hives

  • Increased honey surveillance (2,000 samples/year)

will enable the Management Agency to prioritise beekeeper apiaries for inspection

  • Increased AP2 inspection of apiaries (10% of

apiaries/year up from 2%)

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Acting on Surveillance Information

A beekeeper that voluntarily commits to eliminating AFB will achieve much better results than a beekeeper that is made to comply with plan rules

  • Additional levy funding will enable the Management

Agency to implement proportional and appropriate responses where a DECA holder is not eliminating AFB from their hives:

  • Initiation of advisory services, additional inspections and/or

audit

  • Amend the beekeepers DECA
  • Issue a notice to comply with DECA
  • Revoke Certificate of Inspection Exemption and cancel DECA
  • Default inspections
slide-13
SLIDE 13

Eliminating AFB

The current practice of burning hives is an effective method of eliminating AFB

  • Additional levy funding

will enable the Management Agency to monitor and audit beekeeper elimination performance

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Preventing the Spread of AFB

The most cost effective mechanism for preventing the spread of AFB is good beekeeping practice implemented by the beekeeper

  • Additional levy funding will enable the

Management Agency to:

  • provide targeted advisory services
  • run three regional workshops per year
  • Serve Restricted Place Notices where beekeeping

practice is not sufficient to mitigate the risk to other apiaries

slide-15
SLIDE 15

Cross-Programme Support

  • Additional levy funding will enable the

Management Agency to:

  • Replace the Apiary Database / ApiWeb ($500,000)
  • Review the National American Foulbrood Pest

Management Plan which is due for review in 2023 ($250,000)

  • Fund research into new tools for the detection and

elimination of AFB ($50,000 per annum)

Benefits of funding full implementation of the AFB PMP

  • Save 41,000 beehives

and associated products valued at $50 million from destruction over the next ten years.

  • Protecting access to

export markets worth $329 million per annum

Full implementation of the AFB PMP

Will enable beekeepers that eliminate AFB from their beehives to have confidence that the risk of reinfection from neighbouring hives has been dramatically reduced

Next steps

  • We want to hear your views on the proposed levy to

fully implement the National American Foulbrood Pest Management Plan:

  • Come and speak to me at the AFB PMP stand
  • Submit questions to info@afb.org.nz before 3 August 2018
  • Answers to questions will be posted on the website weekly and via

email

  • Make an online submission by following the link at

http://www.afb.org.nz/new-levy-proposal before 10 August

  • The Management Agency Board will consider

submissions in September 2018 prior to making a recommendation to the Minister for Biosecurity

  • Beekeepers informed of decision in October 2018.
