The secretary may place any apiaries, bees, bee equipment, bee products, honey houses, or appliances where regulated pests are found to exist under quarantine. The removal or handling of any quarantined bees, apiaries, bee equipment, honey houses, or appliances without the written permission of the secretary, is a Class 1 misdemeanor. A quarantine shall exist until the secretary determines the bee, apiary, bee equipment, honey house, or appliance is apparently free from the regulated pest. The secretary may quarantine additional premises he considers necessary.
