Dear Vermont Beekeeper:

Please refer to the directions below and complete both the apiary registration form and the

beekeeper census and return to the address listed below.

•

Check boxes appropriate to your operation: no bees/new beekeeper/ selling bees. This

information will signal your need for an inspection certificate.

•

The Apiary# or Name: if the hives are located at your home, this can be designated as "Your

Name Here Home Yard". You may also use a specific name or number if desired.

•

The #of Colonies is the total number of hives (full size hives, and/or nucleus colonies)

established at a given apiary location as of the renewal/application date. Note: Close

estimates are acceptable if necessary.

•

In the #colonies lost in the ENTIRE year record all colonies lost last year from July to June. In the

"#lost WINTER", enter only the number of colonies you lost this past winter. (November through

April.) In the fall mite count box enter your average mite count only if you did a count. Write

number as ratio or percentage and method (sugar, alcohol, bottom board, etc.) or write "not

counted."

•

The 911, or GPS Address will be specific for each apiary location. In most cases, if the apiary

location is at your home address (specific house number and street address) we can verify the

GPS using our system, and you can indicate

Same as home 911address'. If you have a P.O.

Box, provide the 911address for the apiary location. If you have additional apiary locations that

do not have a 911address, provide GPS coordinates in the following format: 44.34567,-

73.34567. If the pre-populated data includes this information for an apiary location,it should

be accurate unless the location has been changed in the last year or so. If in doubt, include the

GPS information and we will update our database.

•

As required by 6 V.S.A. Chapter 172, it is the duty of every person having one or more

colonies of bees in their possession or under their control to report the location of such

colonies. It is essential that apiary inspectors know the locations of all colonies of bees in

Vermont to effectively control honey bee diseases and pests.

•

The registration period is from July 1to June 30. Per 6 V.S.A. Chapter 172

3022, there is

an annual $10 registration fee per apiary location. Effective July 1, 2016, renewals greater

than 30 days delinquent will be assessed a late fee of $27 per

license/registration/certification as per 6 VSA 1

(13). If the base renewal fee total is less

than $27, the late fee will equal the renewal fee.
