Aldine's Urban Farm Report digs into beekeeping, which is one of the top new hobbies in Utah this year. Joining in on the fun:

  • KRCL's own Circus Brown, who just got his beekeeping permit

  • Jenna Crowder, State Apiary Inspector, Utah Department of Agriculture

  • Peter Somers, Beez Hives N Honey and SL Co. Bee Inspector

The Utah Apiary Program conducts apiary inspections to help beekeepers diagnose pest and disease problems in their hives. These inspections suppress endemic honey bee maladies and monitor for new, exotic pests. Beekeepers may request an inspection from either a state inspector or a county bee inspector. Some counties do not have a county bee inspector. If you need an inspection in a county without a dedicated inspector, please contact a state inspector: (801) 982-2313, UDAF-insects@utah.gov.  

There is no charge for inspections, testing services, or health certification for registered beekeepers.

Inspections are FREE and encouraged for anyone in Salt Lake County with beehives. To schedule an inspection, contact Peter Somers, Salt Lake County Bee Inspector, 801-874-2999, 801874bzzz@gmail.com.
