Major directions are to let the public know directly and through other state agencies about the bee. Major emphases are to study methods of identification and stock certification and the process of genetic interactions. This program is also expected to establish baseline information and study the bees' dispersal patterns. Finally, it will consult and collaborate with the USDA laboratories concerning managing both feral and domesticated bee populations. Major emphases are training beekeepers, other agriculturalists, pest control operators, bee inspectors and the scientific community.
Major thrusts are to implement regulations on the beekeeping community.
Specific areas are stock beekeeper registration, certification, movement regulation and providing information to other agencies which might aid in this effort, such as fire and forestry departments. There will be a training component here as well for bee inspectors, beekeepers, law enforcement agencies and others. It is not known at this time what the next step might be in order to implement the proposed plan. However, it is proposed to approach the Florida Senate Agriculture Committe or perhaps a joint session of House and Senate Ag Committees about increased funding sometime this legislative session . That, of course, is where the beekeeper as ordinary citizen comes in.
