Register Your Hives!
Pennsylvania requires that every beekeeper in the Commonwealth be registered. The registration costs $10.00 for a two calendar-year period and covers all apiaries and hives owned by that person. Instructions to register can be found here. Link to register can be found here on the Pennsylvania State Beekeepers website.
Hive Inspections
Anyone selling bees needs to be inspected every year by the state.
