The establishment of the commission is necessary for the efficient creation and management of a research program to protect the health of honeybees, an integrated approach to manage pests and diseases common to honeybees, and to develop more efficient colony management practices. The commission is also necessary to ensure the existence of the segment of the industry that provides one-half of the queen bees, bulk bees, and starter colonies to other beekeepers throughout the United States and Canada. The commission is also necessary for the efficient development and management of state and national education programs that, combined with research, will enhance the competitiveness of the California beekeeping industry worldwide.
