Restriction Zone
A restriction zone is an officially ordered protection area established around an American Foulbrood outbreak, typically with a minimum radius of 1 kilometer. Within this zone, bee colonies may not be moved, and all apiaries must be inspected by veterinary authorities. The restriction is lifted only after all colonies in the zone test negative for AFB spores.
