Registration Update

Communication

is Key

Keeping in communication between Beekeepers, farmers, PCAs and applicators leads to successful crop production

Communication with County Agriculture Commissioners (CAC) is also crucial to Agriculture

Reporting to CAC’s is required in the State of CA for Beekeepers, both local and from out of state, in order to have their bees available for crop bloom

Examples of some present day legislation in CA.
