				1975, as amended, and the Arkansas Pesticide Control Act, Act 410 of 1975, as
				amended, shall be known as "The Arkansas Regulations On Pesticide Use".

				current regulations entitled "Arkansas Regulations On 2,4-D, 2,4-DB, MCPA, And

SECTION II. Purpose
Pesticides are valuable to the State's agricultural production
				and to the protection of man and the environment from insects, rodents, weeds
				and other forms of life which may be pests; but it is essential to the public
				health and welfare that they be regulated to prevent adverse effects on human
				life and the environment. However, at times certain pesticides present problems
				that were unanticipated by the manufacturer, the grower or the applicator. The
				purpose of these regulations is to provide additional mechanisms, other than
				denying registration of a product in Arkansas, to minimize the adverse effects
				of certain pesticides to:
1. Plants,
			 including forage plants, or adjacent or nearby lands;
2. Wildlife in the adjoining or nearby
			 areas;
3. Fish and other aquatic
			 life in waters in reasonable proximity to the area to be treated; and

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 6, June, 2024
APIARY RULES OF THE STATE PLANT BOARD
The following rules have been promulgated and adopted under
				authority of Act 161 of 1977 as amended by Act 149 of 1979 and in conformance
				with Act 434 of 1967 as amended, the Administrative Procedures Act.
The State Plant Board recognizes the importance of the honeybee
				to Arkansas agriculture through its pollination of crops and the value of the
				honey it produces. The Board will, therefore, strive to preserve the honeybee,
				promote beekeeping and strengthen apiary functions in Arkansas through the
				considerate and judicious application of Act 161 of 1977, as amended by Act 149
				of 1979, and these rules.
Rule I.
Registration
Registering Apiaries.
Each apiary in the state
				shall be registered. Apiaries may be registered at permanent or temporary
				locations. Temporary locations shall be occupied by active colonies of bees
				during the honey producing season, subject to pasturage rights specified in
				Section 3 B of Act 161, or registration will be canceled. Registration shall be
				on forms provided by the Board and shall include the following
				information:
1. Name and complete
			 mailing address of the owner,
2.
			 Legal description of each location by Quarter section, Section, Township and
			 Range,
3. A notation whether each
			 location is permanent or temporary,
4. The name of the owner of the land where
			 each apiary is located, and
5. The
			 number of colonies at each location. Registration may be amended anytime as new
			 colonies are added to an apiary by purchase, division or the capture of swarms,
			 or when any significant change occurs in the location or operation of a
			 beekeeper.
Any person who purchases colonies of bees from a beekeeper with
				registered apiary locations (bee yards) shall have the first option to register
				said locations in his own name, provided such action is agreeable to the owner
				of the land whereon the apiaries are located.

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 6, June, 2024
SECTION
			 I. Title
The following rules of the Arkansas State Plant Board, written
				pursuant to the Arkansas Pesticide Use and Application Act, Act 389 of 1975, as
				amended, and the Arkansas Pesticide Control Act, Act 410 of 1975, as amended,
				shall be known as "The Arkansas Rules On Pesticide Use". Promulgation of these
				rules repeals all provisions of the Plant Board's current rules entitled
				"Arkansas Rules On 2, 4-D, 2, 4-DB, MCPA, And Other State Restricted Use
				Herbicides" effective December 31, 2002.
SECTION II. Purpose
Pesticides are valuable to the State's agricultural production
				and to the protection of man and the environment from insects, rodents, weeds
				and other forms of life which may be pests; but it is essential to the public
				health and welfare that they be regulated to prevent adverse effects on human
				life and the environment. However, at times certain pesticides present problems
				that were unanticipated by the manufacturer, the grower or the applicator. The
				purpose of these rules is to provide additional mechanisms, other than denying
				registration of a product in Arkansas, to minimize the adverse effects of
				certain pesticides to:
1. Plants,
			 including forage plants, or adjacent or nearby lands;
2. Wildlife in the adjoining or nearby
			 areas;
3. Fish and other aquatic
			 life in waters in reasonable proximity to the area to be treated; and
4. Humans, animals, or beneficial
			 insects
