Apiary Inspection The Virginia Bee Law regulates the movement of honey bees into the state, the sale

  • f bees, queens, used bee equipment; and provides a means for dispatching bee

disease reservoirs. Virginia utilizes a Uniform Inspection Certificate approved by the Apiary Inspectors

  • f America for interstate movement of colonies.

Virginia also participates in the Mid-Atlantic States Agreement which specifies inspection requirements for bee diseases and pests and allows for partial (random) inspection of apiaries that meet certain disease-free criteria. The agreement alleviates problems of reduced personnel and budgets while maintaining control over apiaries with disease histories.
