The bill clarifies that apiculture, or beekeeping, is recognized as an agricultural purpose for tax purposes in the state of Wyoming. It amends the definition of "agricultural purpose" in the existing law to include apiculture alongside other agricultural activities such as crop cultivation, timber production, and livestock management. Specifically, the bill adds a new subparagraph (E) to the definition, which explicitly states that apiculture is included as a valid agricultural use of land.

In addition to the insertion of apiculture into the definition, the bill removes the conjunctions "or" from the previous list of agricultural purposes, streamlining the language. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2023.
