Before a person may apply for registration under SDCL 38-18-3, the person must obtain from the landowner or lessee written notification to the department of agriculture and natural resources that the person has been authorized to place bees on the location specified in the written notification. This notification is required only once for a permanent location. The authorization by a landowner or lessee for a location becomes invalid when the land is sold or when a lessee changes. Authorization may not be transferred either temporarily or permanently to another person or to another location without the person first obtaining further written notification from the landowner or lessee. A person who has obtained authorization for a location may not lease or loan that location to another person without first obtaining further written notification of authorization from the landowner or lessee.
