🛂 Phytosanitary Requirements for Live Bee and Pollen Exports

An interactive 3D simulation of the disease testing, inspection and certification checkpoints a live bee colony shipment and a pollen shipment must each pass to clear phytosanitary export requirements.

Two parallel 3D compliance lanes show every disease-testing and certification checkpoint a live honeybee colony shipment and a pollen shipment must each clear before a phytosanitary certificate is issued.

🔬 What It Demonstrates

Live bees pass through more, and riskier, checkpoints — apiary surveys, live disease testing, queen certification and (under strict regimes) a quarantine hold — because they can establish pests permanently. Pollen faces spore and residue testing but no live-organism quarantine.

🎮 How to Use

Raise the pathogen risk slider to see more shipments held at the yellow "testing" gates and flash red. Switch the destination biosecurity regime to Strict to add an extra live-bee quarantine checkpoint, and isolate either lane to compare checkpoint counts directly.

💡 Did You Know?

Some countries, including Australia and New Zealand, effectively ban live honeybee imports to protect their disease-free status, while still permitting pollen imports under a lighter, non-quarantine testing regime.
