Subject matter
This Decree provides for details of the protection of bees, game 1) and fish in the treatment of crops, trees and bushes by plant protection products (hereinafter referred to as "products').
Basic concepts
For the purposes of this decree:

(b) by growing a collective of agricultural, forest and other plants, including trees and shrubs, which is the source of a collection for bees;
(c) flowering crops
1. a crop on which at the time of treatment there are on average more than two flowering plants, including flowering weeds, visited by bees; or
2. the crop visited by bees at the time of the occurrence of the honey tree or of the non-flowering nectar,
(d) honey sweet liquid which is secreted on the surface of plants by certain insects and foreign fungi;
(e) non-flowering nectar sweet liquid, which is secreted by certain plants, such as leaves, leaves or palms.
Protection of bees
(Articles 30 (1) and 31 (1) of the Law)
Preparations which, according to the marketing authorisation for preparation (2), are toxic to bees (hereinafter referred to as "products for bees') shall not be used:
(a) on flowering crops visited by bees;
(b) on flowering trees and bushes visited by bees,
(c) from an aircraft on land through which a mass flight of bees takes place to the source of the collection, traceable from the ground by hearing and sight.
Products which, according to the marketing authorisation, are harmful to bees (hereinafter "products for bees') shall not be used when bees fly:
(a) on flowering crops visited by bees;
(b) on flowering trees and bushes visited by bees,
(c) from an aircraft on land through which a mass flight of bees takes place to the source of the collection, traceable from the ground by hearing and sight.
(1) The average number of flowering plants, including flowering weeds in the grassland, is recorded in strips 1 m wide and 100 m long, in areas up to 10 ha in five places, in areas above 10 ha in 10 places. If there are significant differences in flowering of a part of the crop, this part shall be assessed separately.
(2) Trees and bushes visited by bees shall also be considered to be flowering trees and shrubs in the event of the occurrence of honeydew or non-flowering nectar.
(1) Products for bees may only be used at such a distance from flowering crops, flowering trees and bushes visited by bees or from hives, which, when using the preparation and the mechanisation medium, ensures that the products used do not fall on them. When using products for bees harmful to bees, that distance must be maintained when used at the time when bees fly.
(2) Crops under flowering trees may be used
(a) preparations for bees only poisonous in such a way as to exclude the introduction of such preparations into trees;
(b) products harmful to bees only in such a way as to prevent them from being introduced into trees when bees fly.
(1) The location of permanent hives shall be notified to the municipality by 25 March each year.
(2) The new location of hives shall be notified at least five days before they are moved; if the new location is not in the built-up part of the municipality, a simple situation sketch identifying the hives shall also be attached.
(3) The bulk flight of bees to the source of the collection, traceable from the ground by sight and hearing, shall be notified to the municipal authority without delay, with an indication of the route of its flight.
Animal protection
(Articles 30 (3) and 31 (2) of the Act)
Products which are particularly dangerous or dangerous to animals according to the Marketing Authorisation (2) shall not be used in the branches, pheasants and reservations of game established under the Specific Act. 1)
The measures to protect the game when using animal products which are particularly dangerous or dangerous shall consist of:
(a) the removal of game from the parcels to be treated immediately prior to the use of the product;
(b) in order to prevent game access to treated parcels by available and economically viable technical means, such as game scavengers or electric fences, for at least the duration of treatment with the product.
Products which are particularly dangerous or dangerous according to the Marketing Authorisation (2) shall not be used at the time of hatching of the pups on land in the immediate vicinity of the field, pheasants and animal reserves established under a special law. 1)
Aerospace treatment
(Articles 30 (7) and 31 (1) of the Law)
The beginning of the aero-crop treatment shall be declared no later than 18 hours on the day preceding the day on which the treatment will be carried out, in the usual manner.
When the crop is treated by air, the hives shall be marked with a yellow equilateral triangle with a side length of 1 m in horizontal position, unless they are located in the built parts of the village.
Sampling
(to Paragraph 32 (1) of the Law)
(1) A sample of about 60 grams of dead bees, i.e. about 500 head, and a sample of treated crops of at least 200 grams, is taken to investigate the cause of death of bees. The samples shall be properly labelled and packed in breathable solid packaging and delivered to the expert institute no later than 72 hours after treatment of the crops.
(2) A sample of fish freshly dead or of fish with signs of poisoning is taken in tanks and ponds with a stock of one fish species of between 5 and 20 pieces, depending on the weight and circumstances of the mortality. In tanks and ponds with multi-species bandage and running waters, 3 to 5 pieces are collected from species most frequently occurring between dead or dead fish. At the same time, samples of contaminated water of 4 litres and sediments of 2 kg bottom are always taken.
(3) A sample of the animal to be tested shall be the body of a dead animal or an animal with symptoms of poisoning, possibly only body tissue, body fluid or dissolution of the animals in the amount necessary for the examination.
