The Division offers a voluntary Apiary Registration Program and inspections of hives for first-year beekeepers and beekeepers experiencing problems. The Division will assist the beekeeper with developing appropriate controls to prevent the infection of other hives if a parasite or disease is detected. Additionally, the Division will inspect honeybees and/or apiary equipment that are being moved to another state to certify their apparent freedom from infectious diseases, parasites and/or pests. There is no filing fee for Apiary registration, but the inspection fee is $5. To request an inspection, please contact the Division.
