Dear Members; I have been a hobby beekeeper in NYS for 5 years and I thought that the inspection service was defunct! I think inspections are a very good idea and I would gladly welcome an inspector. Who is being inspected? Is it a state supported service available to anyone or only to commercial beekeepers? Does this mean hives are being registered in NYS? Is their a website where further information is available? my best, Howard Kogan-thinking if you inspect my hives, I'll give you lunch! -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l for rules, FAQ and other info ---
