§ 3.1-610.18. (Repealed effective October 1, 2008) Abandoned apiaries

When an apiary is deemed by the State Apiarist to be abandoned, he shall certify his findings to the treasurer of the political subdivision in which the apiary is located, who shall give notice of such certification to the last known owner and the owner of land upon which the apiary is located, by personal service, by posting at last known residence or by publication. If, after sixty days, the owner or landowner has not laid claim to said apiary, the treasurer may hold a sheriff's sale and issue a treasurer's deed to the successful bidder. The proceeds from such sale shall be added to the general fund of the political subdivision wherein the apiary is located. If such disposition of said apiary is not made within ninety days of the date of the State Apiarist's declaration of abandonment he may take possession of the apiary and destroy the bees, hives and equipment therein.
