All beekeepers within the county are required to register their colonies with the County Commissioner. The purpose of registration is designed to bring beekeepers and pesticide applicators together by tracking and safeguarding hive locations across California. Beekeepers can register at their County Department of Agriculture or through Calagpermits/BeeWhere. The registration fee is $10 per beekeeper. Beekeepers are also required to make notifications to the county of origin and destination county, within 72 hours of any hive movement. Beekeepers can register through BeeWhere to receive bee-toxic pesticide application notifications from growers that have commercial crops within a mile of the beehive locations.
