Apiary Mapping Program

CCBA maintains an apiary map in and around Carroll County, MD. Participation is entirely voluntary. The purpose of this map is for local beekeepers to see which apiaries are in close proximity to them. The map will be accessible through a link shared with those who choose to participate; more information is provided in the sign up form accessible below.

Maryland Apiary Registration

Registering your hives is required annually in the state of Maryland.

Get a head start on your annual registration! Even if you are a BRAND NEW beekeeper, please complete and submit your registration with the number of colonies you plan to get this year. The form (linked below) can be printed and mailed or filled out online and emailed to Cybil.Preston@maryland.gov

Registering your bees helps to protect your bees and your neighbor's bees in the case of an American Foulbrood (AFB) outbreak or other regulatory pest. Registering also helps account for the number of beekeepers and colonies in Maryland which justifies the cost of the state investing money into programming to benefit pollinators and beekeepers.
