§ 29179 Beekeeper Hive Frame Requirements

• •Beekeepers must use hives with movable frames where the bees live and make honey.
• •The frames must be set up so you can take out the honeycomb without breaking other combs in the hive.
• •This rule helps people check the hive without hurting the bees or their home.

A beekeeper has a hive in their backyard.

They must use frames inside the hive that can be easily taken out. If they don’t, and the honeycomb is all stuck together, they can’t check for problems like sick bees or pests without breaking everything. This could hurt the bees and make it hard to keep them healthy.
