In Texas if you want to use bees for ag exemptions (property tax breaks), you need to show that you have active beehives, but no inspections take place. In other rather stupid states you have to have your hives inspected because oh-no-it's-varroa!
- giantg2 1y agoThis is incorrect. TX has an aviary inspector whose purpose is to check for infectious diseases. As in most states, varroa is not considered a concern since it can't be fully eliminated.
