Bee Yard Information

If you need assistance identifying the location of your bee yard(s), please use AgMaps (http://www.ontario.ca/agmaps). AgMaps is an interactive online mapping tool that provides location information, such as GPS coordinates, lot and concession, roll number and more.

If a bee yard address cannot be provided then the beekeeper must provide alternate location information which describes the location of the bee yard (for example, GPS coordinates, concession, lot, part lot, or written description of the location of hives). Bee yards without adequate location information cannot be registered.

Bee Yard Number refers to the unique bee yard registration number assigned by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs after a yard has been registered.

A Premises ID Number can be obtained by registering your premises through the Provincial Premises Registry (https://www.ontariopid.com/en-CA/).
