Registration with the Agriculture Victoria

YES: Registration of beehives is compulsory for all beekeepers in Australia and needs to be renewed every second year.

The main purpose of registration is to be contactable by AgVic in case of emergencies, possible pest or disease incursions and to help with finding stolen hives and the owners of abandoned hives.
Online registration is free for 1-5 hives.
