§ 29048 Beekeeper Liability For Pesticide Losses

• •If a beekeeper doesn't tell the pesticide person they have bees nearby, the pesticide person can sue them if something goes wrong.
• •If a beekeeper doesn't register their bees like they're supposed to, the pesticide person can sue them if something goes wrong.
• •The pesticide person can ask for money to cover their losses if the beekeeper didn't follow the rules.

A farmer sprays pesticides on his crops, but he doesn't know there are beehives nearby because the beekeeper didn't tell him or register the bees.

If the farmer's crops get damaged because the bees were affected by the pesticides, the farmer can sue the beekeeper for not following the rules about telling him or registering the bees.
