		durkie 6 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: An Indoor Beehive in My Bedroom Wall There are bee diseases that are so serious (American foulbrood) that if your hive gets it then the dept of agriculture will come out and not leave until you burn the affected hives.

Where I live, AFB is a reportable infection, requiring burn and bury. Bees are considered livestock and subject to state regulations.
