§ 29055 Beekeeping Equipment Ownership Rules

• •You can't have beekeeping tools with someone else's name or number on them.
• •If you do have them, you must have a paper showing you bought them from the real owner.
• •If you don't have that paper, you're breaking the law.

You find a used beehive with someone else's brand on it at a garage sale and buy it.

You need to get a bill of sale from the person who sold it to you. If you don't have that paper, you could get in trouble even if you didn't know it was wrong.
