Title 80 - ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRIES
MARKETING
Chapter 80-10-11 - POLLINATION
Section 80-10-11-.02 - Findings And Determination

The pollination of certain crops is found and determined to be necessary for successful crop production and yield for the economic benefit and welfare of the people of Alabama. With the continued absence of suitable and comprehensive pollination capabilities by Alabama beekeepers, it is further found and determined that pollination services to and from out-of-state beekeepers would be in the best economic interests of Alabama's agricultural interests, and welfare of the people of Alabama. It is the intent that these rules not conflict with statutory authority but at the same time provide for more effective pollination through rigid inspection, destruction and quarantine as necessary to insure healthy, safe and disease-free bees; and enables the constitutional administration of the statutory provisions by facilitating bee movement in the free flow of commerce.
