My question: What are the fees for bees in other states and countries,
and
what services are provided for said fees?
In England there is no compulsory registration but beekeepers are
encouraged to do so via a tortuous Ministry on-line database which I have never
negotiated. The Ministry provide a popular and efficient inspection service
for the 2 foulbroods, which are 'notifiable diseases'. This means that if
the beekeeper spots a problem that he isn't certain is NOT foulbrood he is
duty bound to notify the Inspectorate. The inspector will inspect; take
samples if thought necessary and put a 'standstill order' on the apiary, meaning
that nothing must be moved elsewhere until the order is lifted, treat, if
necessary, for EFB and destroy by fire for AFB. All this if funded out of
general taxation. Members of the British (in fact English) BKA are
automatically, through their subscriptions, members of the Bee Diseases
Insurance, which is run by beekeepers for beekeepers. They pay compensation for wood
and wax destroyed by the Bee Inspector.
