The law regulates the keeping, breeding, and movement of honey bees (genus Apis) in the region. It defines key terms such as bee stands and breeding stations, and sets minimum distance requirements from neighboring properties and other bee stands. The law grants unrestricted rights for bee migration unless restricted by animal or plant health laws and imposes obligations on beekeepers, including labeling hives, maintaining water sources, and preventing robbing behavior among bees. Special provisions govern controlled breeding areas, with strict conditions and protected zones. The law empowers the Chamber of Agriculture to conduct inspections and provide guidance, outlines administrative penalties for violations, regulates personal data use for enforcement purposes, and includes transitional provisions for existing bee stands. The law consists of 14 Articles.
