In TN, we always called the inspector or a local stand-in to request an
inspection (if you want to sell or move your bees).  Most inspect with you,
don't just show up.  Moot point now, since his position was eliminated in
the budget cuts this year.  You now can get a local stand-in (ok, unless you
want to move bees out of the state) or call his old boss and hope he can fit
you in sometime (since he now fills his old job and this one).  Of course,
he doesn't believe in burning boxes, so he does have less to do.  If you
suspect disease, ou are encouraged to now call the local extension agent
(they are training them all to be able to take pictures and send back to the
university for diagnosis).  Most of the agents have no bee experience and 17
counties have no agent at all (more budget cuts -- no hiring).
