Peter asked:-

 Just wondering why the pollen has to be irradiated since that must be a
> "modern" feature.  Or is this a requirement of the WA government?

No, its just a commonsense thing. Feeding back bee collected pollen is the 
best method I know of spreading bee diseases, particularly AFB.

Govt Regs require that the queen candy  for bees or queens that are to be 
sold to other beeks, especially exported, must be irradiated.

in Western Australia where the rules and regs are plentiful and well 
policed!
