Forfeiture of beehives
Primefact Number: 929 Edition: First edition Released/reviewed: Oct 2009

In cases of emergencies such as fire or when aerial spraying may occur, good identification of beehive material will help the authorities to contact the owner without delay.
In cases where bees are creating a public nuisance or a danger to the general public, the removal of unidentified hives by inspectors will ensure the safety of the general public.
The following topics are covered in this Primefact:
- Why do beehives have to be identified?
