While previous law required beekeepers to register their bees with county agricultural departments, it was effectively unenforceable, said Riverside County Agricultural Commissioner Ruben Arroyo. The new law that goes into effect Jan. 1, 2019 makes it unlawful to maintain an unregistered apiary.<\/p>\n<p>Funding for the program came from the California Department of\u00a0Food and Agriculture and California Department of Pesticide Regulation. The California Agricultural Commissioners and Sealers Association (CACASA) promoted the program in collaboration with CAPCA. Arroyo is the current CACASA president.<\/p>\n<p>The website\u00a0<a title=\"Be Where California\" href=\"http:\/\/bewherecalifornia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bewherecalifornia.com<\/a>\u00a0was set up to help growers, PCAs and beekeepers understand the program.<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to help county commissioners know where bees are located and who owns them, so they can be notified 48 hours before chemical spray treatments are applied to crops near where bees are located.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-banner dfp-ad-hideempty hidden\">\n<div data-dfp-position=\"inarticle2\">\n<div class=\"dfp-tags\" data-size=\"300*250,300*600\" data-adunit=\"\/3834\/westernfarm.home\/article\/crops\/insects\" data-name=\"article_300_2_rht_infinite\" data-targeting=\"pos=300_2_rht|article_number=1|ptype=Article|nid=46367|pterm=insects|sterm=legislative,tree_nuts,spraying|author=todd_fitchette|reg=anonymous\" data-mapping=\"0*0=300*250|779*0=300*250,300*600\" data-adsensecolor=\"background=|border=|link=|text=|url=\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Assembly Bill 2468 by Dr. Joaquin Arambula, D-Fresno, passed the legislative process with no industry opposition, Anderson said.<\/p>\n<p>Arroyo and Anderson promoted the program to over 1,000 PCAs at the association\u2019s recent annual meeting in Anaheim, Calif. Part of the effort there was to highlight ongoing efforts to protect pollinators, which has gained steam in recent years as beekeepers continue to seek answers into higher rates of winter mortality and bee deaths.<\/p>\n<p>While certain classes of pesticides and chemical tank mixes have been blamed for bee deaths, Anderson sees the program as a good first-step to begin collecting data that might help close in on the true cause of bee mortalities.<\/p>\n<p>Beekeepers will be required to pay an annual $10 registration fee beginning in 2020.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The legislation requires anyone who moves bees into the state or otherwise comes in to possession of an apiary to register the name of the owner, the number of hives and the location those colonies will be moved to within 30 days of arrival. Moreover, relocation of hives within the state will now require a phone call to the destination county agricultural commissioner within 72 hours of first movement. The same applies to hives moved within a single county.<\/p>\n<p>Bee owners must also be on record, either directly or through their designated representatives. This includes name and address of the appropriate party. Hives must also be marked with identifying information.<\/p>\n<p>The program will use the latest computer technology to map bee colony locations. The intent is to have locations linked through Agrian, so when a PCA writes a recommendation through the program, an instant flag will go up if beekeepers are registered within a mile of the planned application site. Arroyo says details of this are still being worked out, but early indications suggest that PCAs will be given various crop protection alternatives if bees are nearby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt will come up with a list of suggested softer chemicals to use, but we\u2019re still working with Agrian on this,\u201d Arroyo said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-banner dfp-ad-hideempty hidden\">\n<div data-dfp-position=\"inarticle3\">\n<div class=\"dfp-tags\" data-size=\"300*250,300*600\" data-adunit=\"\/3834\/westernfarm.home\/article\/crops\/insects\" data-name=\"article_300_3_rht_infinite\" data-targeting=\"pos=300_3_rht|article_number=1|ptype=Article|nid=46367|pterm=insects|sterm=legislative,tree_nuts,spraying|author=todd_fitchette|reg=anonymous\" data-mapping=\"0*0=300*250|779*0=300*250,300*600\" data-adsensecolor=\"background=|border=|link=|text=|url=\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If there are bees registered within a mile of the planned application site, contact information on the owner of the bees will be provided. Beekeepers can register various means of contact, including phone, email and fax, Anderson said. Beekeepers will be given 48-hour notice prior to spray activities near their hives.<\/p>\n<p>The program is also hoped to have a smart phone app available, so growers, beekeepers and regulatory agencies can search for and tag bee hive locations. County inspectors can then verify these locations to determine if hives are registered and act on those that are not registered.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson says pilot launch of the program will begin with the 2019 almond bloom. A second phase starts a year later with feedback from various stakeholders and expansion of the technology to eventually include reporting of unmarked and unregistered bee hives and information to aid investigations into bee kills.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE &#8211;\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><em>CDFA continues to work on bee-related issues with a pilot project in North Dakota to inspect bees in other states for the presence of invasive species before they\u2019re shipped to California.
