Two Land Use Agreements are available for purchase from the ApiNZ website:

  • Apiary Land Use Agreement – Land Owner/Beekeeper Profit Share: For those beekeepers offering a crop share arrangement.
  • Apiary Land Use Agreement – Site Rental: For those beekeepers paying a set apiary site rental or per hive rate to the land owner.

The agreements will be $150 inc. GST for ApiNZ members and $523.25 inc. GST for non-members.

The agreements will be personalised to the purchaser, so on enquiry you will need to answer some questions which will be added to your document.

Once payment is received this document will be sent to you via email as a locked pdf.  Any changes can be made using Schedule 3 of the agreement.

Please read our Terms of use below.
