"Think of it as club dues."

It is only club dues if I voluntarily join the club. I have no desire to join the states "club"

I always wondered if the "state guy" did not spread disease from hive to hive, he is in a bunch of different apearies, and probably does not sanitize his equipment between visits. We had foul brood running through hives here about 25 years ago and I always wondered that.

Kathyp,

With your Patrick Henry quote, I knew that I would like you, and you just confirmed it.

North Carolina only if you sell bees is it required, but any apiary can be. The advantage of having it registered is that by state law you can keep people from spraying insecticides from a plane (crop dusting)with within a couple miles of the apiary. You are also required, if registered, to allow inspectors on your property at any time. Now this is out of a attorney's mouth, so take it for what its worth. We had a lawyer speak at our bee meeting a couple of months ago. He was actually really very informative and I appreciate him doing it.

Too much government....way Way WAY too much government. I'm sure that their is not end to all of the good reasons why someone with a hive has to tell the state that they have it and where it is but...Way too much government.

Can't really think of any good reasons for government at all.
Way Way too much of it.
