The Importation of Bees Order 1997
This Order revokes and re-enacts the Importation of Bees Order 1980, as amended. That Order prohibited the importation of bees or bee pests except under the authority of a general or specific licence issued by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food or the Secretary of State. A specific licence permitted the licensee to import a specified consignment of bees or bee pests from a country named in the general licence issued under that Order.
