A annual deadline for beekeepers to report the number of bee colonies is approaching: the report must be submitted by October 15. Those who have not yet completed the necessary paperwork have only a few days left. This reporting is important for animal health and epidemic control.

Registering the apiary at the start is not enough; changes in the colony numbers during the year must also be documented. The autumn report provides an accurate picture of the current size and location of the national bee population, which can vary significantly within a single season due to breeding, merging, sales, purchases, or losses.
