Regulation of beekeeping as a vector of green economy’s institutional development

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study the aspects of beekeeping regulation as a vector as a vector of green economy’s institutional development. To achieve the objectives indicated, the authors analyze the legal status of bees as objects of legal regulation and legal protection; the beekeeping activity and the legal status of beekeepers and their associations; the issues of state regulation of beekeeping activities. In the course of the study the authors applied the systemic and structural-functional methods of scientific knowledge, the comparative legal method, the method of interpreting legal norms, as well as the logical method. As a result of the study, conclusions were drawn about the need to improve the regulation of beekeeping activities both by the norms of the national legislation of Russia and at the level of the CIS countries. A coordinated state policy to support beekeeping activities within the CIS could significantly affect the development of beekeeping in the CIS countries. In this regard, the proposed measures to improve the legal regulation of beekeeping in Russia and to create mechanisms for state support of beekeeping in the CIS countries are proposed as a vector of institutional development of the green economy.
