Here is the part of the NYS Law that authorizes a state appointed apiary inspector (with scant qualifications) to come on your property without your permission:
Apiary Inspection Protocol
When possible notify beekeeper of intent to inspect.
If beekeeper can be present try to schedule the inspection accordingly.
Notification is a courtesy – not a requirement.
