The Problem
Most landowners don't want to become beekeepers just to keep their ag exemption. You need consistent documentation and active hive management - without the learning curve.
DIY Beekeeping
Learning curve, equipment costs, liability risks, and time commitment-without guaranteed tax benefits.
Appraisal District Requirements
Complex documentation requirements, annual proof of agricultural activity, and rejection risks if records aren't perfect.
Documentation Risk
Investing time and money into a DIY approach, then struggling to assemble consistent documentation for appraisal district review.
CBC installs and manages the hives under contract and produces continuous, dated records that demonstrate active agricultural use. You get a clear, repeatable process and organized documentation suitable for appraisal district review - without taking on beekeeper responsibilities.
