Apiary Inspection

The purpose of apiary registration and inspection has been to hinder the spread of certain diseases and pests that are economic threats to bees. These include American Foul Brood, Acarine Mite and Varroa Mite. Currently, the objective is also to prevent the introduction of the Africanized Honey Bee into domestic colonies.
