S.D. Admin. R. 12:41:03:10
Bee location permits may be revoked if the locations do not have colonies of bees located on them and they are not used for honey production two out of the last five honey producing seasons. Beekeepers must indicate on their application for registration the number of colonies they expect to place on each location. Location permits may also be revoked if the apiaries located pursuant to each location permit are abandoned or if the apiaries located pursuant to each location permit are infected with a regulated pest and the beekeeper has failed to take specific actions as ordered by the secretary pursuant to SDCL 38-18-16. Bee location permits may be revoked if the bees on that location were brought into the state without an entrance permit, if the apiary is not identified, or if the landowner or lessee authorization is invalid. The secretary may also deny applications and revoke any permits for locations located within a quarantined area.
