I don't see why not! If a rancher can put out a stock tank for watering,
then a beekeeper can certainly put out a 55 gallon barrel or barrels with
floats etc for watering. However to be certain and leave nothing to
interpretation, it SHALL be written into the rules leaving nothing to
chance. Great point! Start a file and put this paper in to hold on to for
fall comment process.
