Healthy bees plan!

" The plan describes the five main things we want to achieve, working with individual beekeepers, their associations and other stakeholders. These are:
1. To keep pests, diseases and other hazards to the lowest levels achievable. "
I'd have thought that a goal of "the lowest levels acheivable" goes way beyond the "As Low As Reasonably Possible (ALARP)" principle used in risk assessments for the nuclear industry in the UK. The government's overwhelmingly pro-bee stance is amazing :)
