Who This is For

First-time AG exemption applicants: You own land, want to qualify, but don't know where to start.
Keeping an exemption: You have AG status but worry it might be challenged or you're tired of managing it yourself.
Hands-off owners: You like the land but don't want to run a full farm or manage bees.
Small to medium acreage: 5–50 acres. We scale hive count to property size.

What You Don't Have to Do

• Learn beekeeping
• Deal with swarms or hive problems
• Handle documentation or hive records
• Manage appraisal district documentation (though we advise on next steps)

FAQ

Straight answers for landowners who want agricultural valuation without becoming beekeepers.

How many hives will I get?

Typically 6 for a 5–10 acre property, scaling up with acreage. 10–20 acres might get 8–12. We confirm during the assessment and align to your district's degree-of-intensity standard.

Will you harvest honey?

We can harvest honey if you want (extra income potential), or we can just manage for exemption purposes. You decide.

What if I'm allergic to bees?

Hives are placed away from your home and activity areas. Honeybees are docile. Discuss allergies early; we'll accommodate.

How long is the contract?

We ask for a 1-year minimum to establish continuity. After year one, we can discuss rolling year-to-year or multi-year terms.

What if I want to upgrade to more hives later?

Easy. If Tier 1 works for you initially but you want to scale up to Tier 2 (Managed Pollination), we can discuss adding hives after the first season.
