It would be nice if someone could pull the western state requirements
together into a table for easier access - Arizona loosened up after the
beekeepers got the registration system flushed, but BLM, State Trust
Land, Forest Service are all different. I can't think of one apiary on
Indian reservation land, and wilderness areas are off-limits altogether.
I managed to gain access to wildlife refuges only with a research
collecting permit, which was OK, since I was trying to avoid beekeeping
areas.
