I obtained this directive from NYS Ag & Mkts
On March 20, 2020, Governor Cuomo signed the “PAUSE” Executive Order, a 10-point policy to assure uniform safety for everyone. It includes a new directive that all non-essential businesses statewide must close in-office personnel functions effective at 8PM on March 22, 2020. Essential businesses are exempt from this guidance.
Agriculture/farms has been designated as an “Essential Business” for purposes of Executive Order 202.6/PAUSE Executive Order. As outlined in Agriculture and Markets Law Article 25-AA Section 301, beekeeping is a key component of agriculture and New York State farms. As such, beekeeping operations are considered an essential business, including the:
• Production, movement, maintenance, of bees, bee related equipment, honey and honey products.
• Transportation necessary to meet any of the above functions.
