Requests are accepted on a first come first serve basis

Instructions-

Provide GPS coordinates in decimal format with 5 digits following the decimal. Ex. Latitude: 44.26083, Longitude: -72.58049

GPS coordinates are best obtained by using Google maps. Obtaining coordinates with handheld GPS device or smartphone in the field is not recommended, as calibrations can be inconsistent across devices. If a field device is used, it is recommended to verify the field coordinates with Google Maps. For best results, it is recommended to use a desktop computer, satellite view layer, and a map scale of 100ft to locate the precise area for the proposed apiary.

See example below:
