  1  1    Amend Senate File 62 as follows:
  1  2    #1.  Page 1, by inserting before line 1, the
  1  3 following:
  1  4    "Section 1.  NEW SECTION.  2B.4B  BEE HERD.
  1  5    1.  As used in this section, unless the context
  1  6 otherwise requires, "bee" means any livestock capable
  1  7 of flight that customarily collects pollen.
  1  8    2.  The state veterinarian shall designate a state
  1  9 bee bander and state bee brander to inspect each bee
  1 10 herd located in this state and conduct statistical
  1 11 testing of each herd to detect an incidence of
  1 12 positive reaction within a herd.  A positive reaction
  1 13 includes any activity that indicates aggressive
  1 14 behavior.
  1 15    3.  The bee bander shall band each bee that reacts
  1 16 positively to the test.  Except as otherwise provided
  1 17 in this subsection, the band shall be snugly fitted
  1 18 below the knee of the left behind leg of the bee in a
  1 19 manner that does not cause significant discomfort or
  1 20 immobility, according to rules adopted by the
  1 21 department.  The band shall be easily identifiable by
  1 22 a bee breeder.  If the left behind leg of the bee
  1 23 becomes detached, the bee bander shall band the bee's
  1 24 right behind leg.  If the right behind leg of the bee
  1 25 becomes detached, the bee brander shall brand the bee
  1 26 at the bee's base with the bee brander's bee brand
  1 27 easily identifiable by the bee breeder."
