Here you can download forms that will be useful.

Beehive registration form (in .PDF format - must have Adobe Acrobat to view.  Adobe Acrobat is available for free at www.Adobe.com)

Registering your hives is not only a good idea, its the law.  Many people ask what is the benefit to me?  For one thing, it establishes that your hives have been in a certain location for a documented period.  If zoning laws are passed, you may be able to claim that your apiary is grand fathered.  Also, if disease or a new infestation breaks out, you can be notified to treat your hives to prevent infection and to help further prevent further spreading of of the pathogens.

Bear Damage Form - Only by documenting the cases of bears attacking our hives, and documenting the losses, can we prove to the DEP that they need to control their bears.  If you have had problems with a bear in your bees, please fill out the attached form and mail it in.
