I can understand no antibiotics or vaccines. New Zealand is notoriously heavy handed. But I can't understand no insurance. Part of me feels like they forwent even trying to get insurance, despite the obvious risk of potentially having to burn your hives. Or got quoted and decided against it. Just a moment of googling found an insurer immediately... https://aon.co.nz/agri-business/bee-insurance https://aon.co.nz/agri-business/bee-insurance So now I feel a bit less "The state is screwing me over" and a bit more "I didn't get insurance, got burned, and now want to socialize the loss with a heart-strings story."

It doesn't look to me, at a quick skim, that this insurance would cover disease, or the loss of income in the future.

  I can't imagine disease wouldn't fall under "Loss of stock". But even if it didn't, you can usually pay for whatever you need. And if the disease is so rampant that insurers won't cover it, that's a good sign you shouldn't be in the business. Like building a house where insurers refuse to offer flood coverage.

The coverage terms, and any exceptions, matter -- at a quick glance, I don't see coverage there for "disease enters a hive and the government forces you to burn all your hives".
