BEEKEEPING PLANNING AND FILING

Your first steps into Beekeeping planning and management

SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Be good to the bees while getting the same valuable tax savings enjoyed by landowners in ag or wildlife by managing coveted honeybees on your land.

A 1-d-1 open space valuation for bee keeping is very similar to what’s required under Ag: the primary use of the land must be for agricultural production, property must have been devoted principally to agricultural use for 5 of the preceding 7 years, and intensity levels of production (as dictated by your CAD) must be established. As with Ag, you must also keep accurate records of all your bee keeping activities (honey production, maintenance schedules, etc.) to show the CAD you’re meeting their requirements.

Although beekeeping requires experience and education to be successful, with Plateau’s help you’ll have everything you need to get your beekeeping operation off the ground quickly and running smoothly.

Includes site visits, detailed reports, recommendations, maps and Plateau’s professional representation of your 1-d-1 application to your CAD.

GUIDANCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Plateau biologists will provide recommendations for establishing beekeeping on your property, including hive types, required equipment, colony locations, maintenance, record-keeping, etc. that meet your local requirements. We’ll provide an easy-to-understand outline of your CAD’s beekeeping requirements (requirements of city ordinances will also be included, if applicable) and a general cost estimate for establishing bee colonies on your property.

NETWORK OF EXPERTS

There is no requirement that you must maintain your own hives, so a leasing operation where a third-party beekeeper maintains the appropriate number of hives on your property should fully qualify your land. If you are interested in a third party operator, Plateau will work with our exclusive network of highly experienced  apiarists and connect you with a local expert.

FULL REPORT AND DOCUMENTATION

A detailed report including an inventory of your land’s existing assets for establishing bees (favorable plants, soil types, etc.) and recommendations on improvements. Maps of features relevant to establishing a beeoperation on your property (planting areas, brush management regions, etc.) are included.
