Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

The owner or person in charge of any hive, bees, combs, bee products or appliances and the owner or occupier of any premises and the owner or person in charge of any vehicle on or in which there is suspected to be a notifiable pest shall—

(a)

make available all such facilities; and

(b)

give such information (including information concerning the number, location and any movements of hives, bees, combs, bee products or appliances that are or have been in his possession or charge and information concerning the location of any bee pests on the premises or vehicle),

to an authorised person as that authorised person shall reasonably require for the purposes of this Order.

(2)

No person may treat bees with a substance which may have the effect of disguising the presence of, or rendering difficult the detection of, a notifiable disease unless he is carrying out the treatment of bees in accordance with a notice served under Article 7.

(3)

The Department may by licence exempt any person from the prohibition contained in paragraph (2).

(4)

Any person upon whom a notice is served under this Order or who is subject to the provisions of a notice declaring an area to be an infected area within the meaning of Article 10 shall comply with the provisions of that notice.
