The issue is not so much the public lands, but state laws. For example, in
MT, you can't place bees anywhere without registering the apiary. The
location must be down to the 1/4 section. You can't place your bees close
than 3 miles to the next nearest beekeeper (who has a properly registered
bee site). There are some exceptions to this distance limit for landowners
who keep bees and hobbiests. So, if you pull your trailer into MT and set
it on an unregistered site, you will probably get to meet the local Sheriff.
Next door in Washington, the registrations work somewhat differently.
