Certificate of Inspection
Beekeepers who do not have a DECA with the Management Agency need to have hives inspected for AFB every Spring.
Approved beekeepers who have a DECA and sufficient experience are permitted to inspect and sign off this paperwork.
To do this, the Group contains a number of approved beekeepers who volunteer to help beginner members without a DECA.
It is normal to compensate the inspectors for time and travel costs to whatever level you both agree, in advance.
Neither members nor inspectors are obligated to do anything.
Members can look at the map below, open to full screen [ ] in top right corner.
You can then click on the various markers of inspectors to get their contact details.
If one inspector is overloaded, you may need to try another one.
Beyond the local members listed on our map the Management Agency also publishes a list of approved beekeepers who have agreed to be inspectors. This list that includes all NZ not just BoP.
