Apiary
Inspection Program:
Apiary Inspection services
are provided by the Alabama Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services
(ADA&CS), Plant Industry Division, Plant Protection Section, Apiary
Services. Visit the Apiary
Services web site for details of the services provided, regulations, and
recommendations about beekeeping.
The strength of the
beekeeping industry in Alabama is in large part due to the historical close
cooperation between the ABA beekeepers and the Apiary Inspectors. We
encourage and expect all beekeepers to continue that cooperation by
following any regulations set forth by the Apiary Services as they endeavor
to identify, contain, and eradicate honey bee pests, mitigate beekeeping
industry problems, and train beekeepers to do so as well.
Get acquainted with your
inspectors. Avail yourself of their services. You will be a
better beekeeper for it!
