Beekeepers have until September 30 to comply with new regulations, which also affect poultry owners and dog hotel operators. Under the new law, beekeepers must report specific information to the county veterinarian twice a year. This includes the location of their apiary and the number of hives, even for those keeping bees for personal use.

By the September 30 deadline, beekeepers are required to inform the county veterinarian about their apiary's location and hive count. This obligation extends to individuals maintaining even a small number of chickens at home, as they must also register. Dog and cat hotels are included in these regulations, although their owners do not face the same deadlines as beekeepers.
