Frequency Farms provides the necessary documentation, including hive counts, management logs, and annual reports to justify the agricultural use appraisal and ongoing compliance. We ensure every technical requirement for the
1-d-1 transition is met and maintained annually.
Ongoing Management
Our team handles regular health checks, swarm prevention, and feeding. Documentation is updated monthly, providing landowners with clear verification for the county assessor.
