A person engaged in the rearing of bees for sale shall have his or her apiary inspected by the Secretary at least twice during each summer season and, if any disease is found which is injurious to bees, shall at once cease to ship bees from such diseased apiary until the Secretary declares, in writing, such apiary free from all such diseases, and whenever the Secretary shall find the apiary rearing bees for sale free from disease, he or she shall furnish the owner with a certificate to that effect. (Added 1983, No. 83, § 1; amended 2003, No. 42, § 2, eff. May 27, 2003.)
