Article 2 - Registration
Section 11-7-207 - Changing Locations; Enlarging or Selling Apiaries.

11-7-207. Changing locations; enlarging or selling apiaries.
(a) No owner of an established registered apiary shall change the location of the apiary without first receiving from the department authorization to establish the new apiary. In making the application, the owner shall specify the location of the apiary with the same particularity as in the application for original registration. If the new apiary is not used according to W.S. 11-7-211, the certificate of registration lapses and all rights under the registration terminate. Registrations for new apiaries shall not be issued for greater areas than the applicant can show are reasonably necessary for his needs consistent with good beekeeping practice.
(b) A registered apiary may be sold or transferred to a purchaser subject to applicable provisions of this chapter if all bees and equipment on the apiary are sold to the purchaser.
(c) No person may increase the number of hives on an apiary to exceed the number of hives consistent with good beekeeping practices authorized by his certificate of registration for that apiary, except that a person may increase the number of hives on a general apiary beyond the number authorized by the certificate of registration in order to protect his bees and hives from bears or other predators. A person may also enlarge a general apiary during the spring buildup and in the fall after the end of the honey season in order to gather his bees for shipment out of the state or to winter his bees on that apiary.
