Section 3. No person shall keep a Colony of bees affected 

 with the disease known as foul brood, or black brood or with 

 any other infectious or contagious disease harmful to honey 

 bees in the egg, larval, pupal or adult stage, except as pro- 

 vided by section four of this act ; and every bee keeper,
