The Commissioner, in order to prevent the spread of any bee diseases or bee parasites, may order that certain apiaries, sites and bee colonies, packages of bees, queen bees, or bee equipment found to be diseased or infested with parasites, to remain on the site on which they were located when such infection or infestation was discovered until they are destroyed, moved elsewhere for destruction, or treated in a manner as he may otherwise direct. The Commissioner may, in the same manner, quarantine nearby hives which may be or may become similarly infected or infested.
