A. In order to control contagious disease, no apiary shall be moved or established closer than one and one-half miles straight airline distance from an existing registered commercial apiary, unless the apiary owner is also the owner of the apiary location.
B. Any beekeeper found in violation of Subsection A of this section shall remove the apiary within ten days. After the ten days, each day the beekeeper remains in violation shall constitute a separate violation of the Bee Act.
C. If a beekeeper uses his colonies for the pollination of an agricultural crop and desires to locate the colonies within the distance specified by the board of an existing commercial apiary, he shall apply for a special pollination permit from the department. The department shall grant a pollination permit only if the colonies are apparently free of contagious disease. The department shall issue the pollination permit only for the period of time the bees are effectively pollinating the designated crop.
