§ 29176 Unoccupied Bee Comb Storage

• •You can't have an empty beehive comb unless it's sealed tight so bees can't get in.
• •If the comb has live bees in it, you're fine—no need to seal it.
• •This rule is about keeping loose combs from attracting bees that don’t belong there.

You find an old, empty beehive comb in your garage and leave it outside.

If you don’t seal it up tight, bees might fly in and start using it. That’s not allowed—you have to lock it up so no bees can get inside.
