Summary

When thinking about disaster assistance for honeybees, it is important to remember that bees are classified as livestock by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Honeybees are not native to the U.S. and are cultivated by beekeepers to produce agricultural products, including honey, wax and pollination services. Their classification as an agricultural species affords beekeepers access to government programs that help mitigate risk.
