This Order amends the Importation of Bees Order 1980, which prohibits the importation of bees into Great Britain except under a licence issued by the responsible Minister (as defined in that Order), by prohibiting the importation of bee pests (being organisms or pathogens which are injurious to bees or any cultures of any such organisms or pathogens) except under such a licence (article 2).
