Hive Inspections
The Wannabees are fortunate to have a working relationship with Bob Reiners, South Dakota's Dept. of Agriculture state apiarist. Bob will provide free hive inspections for those of you who have registered your hives with the State AND you have lost your colony for unknown reasons. The goals of our state apiary program are to protect South Dakota’s beekeeping industry from the spread of apiary diseases such as American Foulbrood, and parasitic mites, such as the Honeybee Tracheal mite and Varroa mite; to coordinate the interstate movement of bees; advise beekeepers on the identification and treatment of honeybee pests and diseases; and to promote the value of beekeeping to the residents of South Dakota and the value of the premium honey produced in the state. |
