What do you think about the 2024 Legislative bill LB868 that seeks to register & inspect all bee hives in Nebraska?
Just wondering.

Well at the comittee hearing. They motioned to remove all the honey bee stuff and hive registration and to just go with passing it for the pollinator working group. Beekeepers couldn't come together and agree on a starting point. There's an old law on the books that says Nebraska can only borrow up to $250k at any given time. This essentially forces a lot of things to be self funded. Hence the mandatory registration and fees associated.
