(5) If a registered apiary of 15 or more colonies should fall below and remain below 15 colonies, anyone can petition the State and establish an apiary within two miles of the existing apiary, provided the number of colonies in the existing apiary stays below 15 for two years from the time of the petition. An apiary that loses the protection of the two-mile limit in this manner cannot be built back above the number of colonies it had at the end of the two-year period.
