🛡️ Why you should post it?  If you have a farm or a beekeeper, you may want to consider posting a sign.  Under South Carolina’s agritourism law, that sign helps you limit liability if someone gets hurt due to normal, expected risks of farm activities.
 
**NO SHIPPING PROVIDED:  Delivery is provided at the next Lexington County Beekeeper's meeting unless special arrangements are made.**
 
Those “inherent risks” can include:
🐝 Bee stings
🐄 Animal behavior
🌾 Uneven ground, mud, or farm equipment
🌦️ Weather conditions
 

👉 The key point: The protection is much stronger if you clearly warn visitors—and that sign is part of that requirement.
 
⚖️ What the sign does for you:
Helps protect you legally if there’s an accident tied to normal farm risks
Shows visitors were aware of the risks before participating
Supports your case if there’s ever a lawsuit or insurance claim
Often required to fully qualify for agritourism liability protections
 
🚜 Why it matters specifically for beekeepers & farms
Sell honey or products on-site 🍯
Host hive tours or classes 🐝
Offer U-pick, events, or farm visits 🍓
Let customers walk your property
…then you’re considered part of agritourism, and this law likely applies to you.
 
❗ Important note: The sign does NOT protect you from everything. Farmers should always fix issues that are unsafe conditions, and follow basic safety practices.
