Beekeeping rules in Mexico
Every year you must requeen each colony with a European-origin or genetically improved queen, marking her thorax with that year's color (0/5 blue, 1/6 white, 2/7 yellow, 3/8 red, 4/9 green), replace any rustic hives with modern movable-frame hives, and wear light-colored protective clothing (NOM-002-SAG/GAN-2016, 4.2-4.4, 6.2.2).
In control zones your apiaries must be at least 200 m from populated places and main roads (or the distance set by state law), you may be asked to help capture swarms, any swarm you keep must be requeened with a queen from an approved breeder, and you cannot use honey in the candy for queen cages (6.2.1, 4.6-4.7).
