     apiary shall be made on a form provided by the department and
     shall include all of the following:
            (1)  The name and complete mailing address of the owner
        of the apiary and the name and complete mailing address of
        the person primarily responsible for maintaining and caring

        (d)  Registration term.--A registration under this section
     shall be valid for a period of not more than two calendar years

     another location in this Commonwealth. The owner of an apiary
     yard which is properly registered as an apiary under this
     chapter shall not be required to report the temporary relocation
     of a hive or hives for crop pollination as long as proper
     records of hive locations are maintained by the owner at a
     location available to the department for inspection.
