The present Act egulates all aspects of beekeeping in Denmark, including disease control, breeding, conservation, education, and beekeeper registration. It empowers the Minister for Environment and Food to issue regulations, appoint bee inspectors, and establish mating stations and protected zones to preserve native bee species. The law also provides compensation mechanisms for losses caused by disease control or conservation measures and allows for arbitration in cases of pesticide-related bee deaths. Violations may result in fines, and enforcement includes inspection and reporting powers.
The Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries appoints a committee to give recommendations on strategy for support and development of beekeeping. This Act sets regulations on prevention, reduction and control of pests and diseases of bees, by eliminating and treating bee colonies and material if suspected to be attacked by certain pests, and by prohibiting the use of honey, wax, etc. from colonies reporting pests or suspicion thereof.
The latest attached version is Consolidation Act on Beekeeping (No. 13 of 2017).This Act is not applicable to Greenland nor the Faroe Islands.
