Notice deadlineBefore locating bees on an apiary site (A.R.S. § 3-367.02(A)).

Consequences, as publishedFor the one bee provision Arizona publishes (A.R.S. § 3-367.02): 'A failure by the beekeeper or the owner of the bees to notify the person or persons who engage in commercial agriculture as provided by subsection A constitutes prima facie evidence that no loss occurred due to a pesticide application and no pesticide violation related to bees has occurred' (§ 3-367.02(C)). No penalty for entering Arizona with bees is published, because no entry instrument is published (see sources-K2a.md).Published · Checked Oct 20, 2026 · Source: Arizona Revised Statutes § 3-367.02 — Notification by beekeepers of bees located in a commercial agricultural area (Arizona State Legislature, azleg.gov)
