Beekeeping in California
Drastic County Ordinances

> Ventura County has passed an ordinance that "all bees not bearing an inspector's certificate will be destroyed on arrival," while Imperial County Board says no more bees shall be brought into that county. It is rather laughable to read how some of our county boards are going to block the trade or kill it when it arrives. If every county in the State should pass an ordinance identical with that of Imperial County, there would soon be a condition that would be intolerable. Migratory beekeeping is a part of our modern-day progress -- has come to stay, and cannot be stopped by a few county boards. Such drastic ordinances, in my opinion , will hasten the day when we shall have a State law that will be effective without trying to prevent free movement ... Gleanings in Bee Culture. Mar. 15, 1912
