The plan sets out four key outcomes to help protect honey bees:

1) Effective biosecurity and good standards of husbandry, to minimise pest and disease risks and so improve the sustainability of honey bee populations.
2) Enhanced skills and production capability/capacity of beekeepers and bee farmers.
3) Sound science and evidence underpinning the actions taken to support bee health.
4) Increased opportunities for knowledge exchange and partnership working on honey bee health and wider pollinator needs.
