Every person keeping bees, and the owner of a parcel on which bees are kept, must ensure that the bees are:

• maintained in a condition so as to reasonably prevent undue swarming or aggressive behaviour;
• (b) requeened as soon as possible if such bees are subject to undue swarming or show signs of aggressive behaviour; and
• (c) provided with adequate water to prevent the bees from seeking water from neighbourhood swimming pools, birdbaths, ponds or other community bodies of water;
