There were two parts to the survey. The first, carried out during autumn 2010, comprised sampling of bees from a risk-based purposive selection of apiaries in areas from the North Island where an incursion of IAPV was considered most likely. From each selected apiary, pooled samples of approximately ten bees were tested. The bee sample was a composite sample made up of bees from all or a proportion of colonies present at the site. The second part of the survey was carried out approximately one year later during autumn 2011. It involved selecting apiaries to be sampled using generalised random tessellation, a selection technique designed to maximise spatial coverage over areas of New Zealand where beekeeping occurs. For each selected apiary a pooled sample of approximately twenty bees from each of three colonies were tested. In total, 1050 tests were c... |
