S.C. Code Regs. 27-2. Quarantine Imposed on Areas Where Disease Exists

A. A quarantine is hereby placed by the Commission on all areas where disease of bees is known to exist. Also, hereafter such a quarantine shall become effective in all areas where any disease is discovered.

B. The removal of any and all bees and fixtures from such quarantined areas is hereby prohibited until such time as the Commission declares that the disease is eradicated. Provided that the Commission may issue permits for the movement of bees and/or fixtures, before such a declaration, when in the judgment of Commission, such movements will decrease the danger that other bees and fixtures will become diseased, or which will in other ways result in increased protection of the beekeeping interests of the State.

C. The movement of bees and fixtures from areas under quarantine is prohibited, even when permitted as above, until such bees and fixtures are first treated in a manner prescribed and approved by the Commission.
