>As a local beekeeper, I feel strongly that migratory beekeeping brings pests and parasites into my locale, but I support their right to carry on their livelihood and would not support restricting their right to do so (excepting creating a nuisance, etc).
So are they not creating a nuisance by bringing in pests and diseases?
> Beekeepers engaged in raising Italian queens for sale would have their livelihoods extinguished.
The laws in Italy are the result of democracy. None of us have a right to make a living by ignoring the wishes of the democratic majority. If we don't like it then we can argue against it and try to get the law changed.
Incidentally, I understand that in Austria there are two defined areas where beekeepers can only keep a single sub-species; one for A.m.m. and one for A.m.c. They also have mating stations set up specifically for each.
I believe that Poland also has forest areas where only A.m.m. (?) is allowed.
Best wishes
