Bee owner: complete annual hive registration in Quebec
Check who must register, declare locations and update beekeeping information each year.
For breathing difficulty or a severe allergic reaction, use the prescribed auto-injector and call 911. Do not handle a swarm without training.
Check the obligation
Quebec requires covered bee owners to register annually. Read the exclusions and do not assume a small hive count automatically exempts you.
Prepare locations
Gather owner contact details, colony count and municipalities where hives are located. Distinguish residence, permanent apiary and seasonal sites.
Meet the period
Quebec states an annual period from April 1 to June 1. Use the current form and keep proof of submission and payment when applicable.
Update changes
Report required changes, including municipality or hive count. Registration does not replace municipal, animal-health, movement or sales rules.
