§ 29175 Honey Extraction Enclosure Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •You can't take honey, pollen, or wax from a beehive unless you're in a closed room or space.
  • •The room or space must be built so bees can't get in while you're taking honey or wax.
  • •This rule is to keep bees safe and stop them from getting upset or hurt.

Example

You have a beehive in your backyard and want to collect honey.

You can't just take the honey outside where bees are flying around. You need to do it in a closed shed or room where bees can't get in. This keeps the bees from getting angry or harmed.
