Text

All persons keeping bees in this State shall provide movable frames in all hives used by them, and cause the bees in such hives to construct all combs in such frames so that such frames may be removed from the hive without injuring other combs in the hive, and so that all the surface of the combs may be examined visually. The State Apiarist will provide notice in writing if bees are not in moveable frames, and the person keeping the bees will have 1 year to get into moveable frames before a penalty is assessed.
