<p>Genetic improvement has been limited in the Australian honey bee population, despite the direct and indirect economic significance of the industry. Recently, significant industry and community investment has established the foundation for a national R&D and improvement program centred on objective evaluation and genomic selection, underpinning strong industry and community engagement. This paper outlines the key elements of that program, its goals, and early steps in implementation, and highlights the transformative potential of the program.</p>
