BeeWhere User Types
Beekeepers can use this website to fulfill their obligation to register annually in their home county, notify other counties when they first move bees into those counties, and notify the County Agricultural Commissioner when they move bees to new locations within the county.
All information provided by beekeepers through this site is carefully protected according to the provisions of California law.
Bee Brokers who manage BeeWhere data for multiple beekeepers can access all of their beekeeper data using a single bee broker account in BeeWhere. If you have previously created multiple beekeeper accounts in BeeWhere and want to convert them all to a single Bee Broker account, please contact the help desk at help@beewhere.calagpermits.org and we will be happy to help get your broker account set up.
All information provided by bee brokers on behalf of beekeepers through this site is carefully protected according to the provisions of California law.
Licensed Pest Control Advisors (PCAs) can use this website to find out if bee colonies will be present within one mile of the application site under consideration on or around the potential application date.
PCAs will not receive information about specific beekeepers or bee colony locations, nor will they receive contact information for beekeepers with colonies in the one-mile buffer zone.
Pesticide applicators (either a Grower applying pesticides on their own crops or a contracted Pest Control Business operating on behalf of a Grower) can use the BeeWhere web site to obtain contact information for beekeepers with colonies within a mile of an upcoming pesticide application.

Apiary Registration Fees WILL BE ASSESSED for 2026
Fee Payments for each calendar year are due on January 1st.
Per 3 CCR § 2951, apiary registration fees will be assessed for each calendar year. Fees are assessed in arrears, so your 2027 registration fee will be based on the maximum number of colonies you had registered in 2026. The fees are due on January 1st, and must be paid by January 31st of each registration year. If fees are not paid by that date, a late penalty fee of 50% of the amount due will be added to the total amount due (3 CCR § 2952).
The fees payable are set based on the maximum number of colonies registered in the prior calendar year:
| Number of colonies | Fee |
|---|---|
| 1-9 | $10.00 |
| 10-50 | $100.00 |
| 51+ colonies | $250.00 |
| Broker | $250.00 |
| Fee is based on the total number of colonies and not a per colony basis. | |
Certain counties may waive the registration fee for hobbyist beekeepers. If you are registering in a county that has opted for the hobbyist fee waiver and you had fewer than 10 colonies in the prior calendar year, your payment status will automatically show as Waived.
Fees should be paid online through this web site (3 CCR § 2954). After you log in to BeeWhere your home page will show your registration status for each calendar year. After registering for 2027, the Status column for 2027 in your home county will either show WAIVED (if you had fewer than 10 colonies in 2026 and your home county waives hobbyist beekeeper fees), or UNPAID - PAY NOW if fees are due. Click the UNPAID - PAY NOW link to make your payment through our secure online payment page.
