§ 29006 Bee Colony Definition

Key Takeaways

  • •A 'colony' is just one beehive with everything inside it.
  • •This includes the bees, the honeycomb, and any tools or parts of the hive.
  • •It’s like saying a 'house' includes the people, furniture, and everything inside.

Example

You have a beehive in your backyard.

The law says your 'colony' is that one hive plus all the bees, honeycomb, and anything else inside it. So if you talk about your 'colony,' you’re talking about the whole hive and everything in it.
