9. It is forbidden to import into Québec any bees, or any accessory for bee-keeping which has already been made use of, unless the shipment be accompanied by a certificate from the head apiarist or other competent officer of the province or state of origin to the effect that such bees are free from disease, and that such accessory is not infected. The Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food may, however, authorize such importation, but for scientific purposes only.
