📦 Importing Bees and Queens: International Regulations and Permits

Watch a queen shipment travel through export certification, customs inspection and a quarantine facility — adjust permit completeness, declared disease risk and quarantine length to see which consignments clear and which are held or destroyed.

Entomology & Insect Behaviour3DModerate60 FPS

A queen shipment moves through a customs pipeline — origin apiary, export health certificate, border inspection, quarantine facility and destination apiary — clearing or failing each checkpoint depending on paperwork completeness, declared disease risk and quarantine length.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Each checkpoint enforces a different rule: export certificates need a paperwork minimum, customs applies a stricter bar unless risk is declared low, and quarantine must last at least as long as the declared risk category requires — otherwise the consignment is destroyed rather than released.

🎮 How to Use

Set permit completeness, the declared disease risk category and the quarantine period, then send a shipment. Watch it travel the pipeline and see which stage it clears, gets held at, or is destroyed at.

💡 Did You Know?

Real import regimes size quarantine length to the incubation period of the diseases they are screening for — for some pests and pathogens there is no legal import route at all, no matter how complete the paperwork.
