Analysis
NAICS 112910 is the 2022 national industry for apiculture, part of 11291 (Apiculture). Census lists 7 example activities under it in the official index.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include bee pollen collection, bee production (i.e., apiculture), beeswax production and honey bee production, among 7 in all.
Its goods appear in 8 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 0409 () and 0106 (other live animals). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
County Business Patterns does not cover crop and animal production, so there is no establishment count for it; farms are counted by the Census of Agriculture instead.
Official definition
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising bees. These establishments may collect and gather honey; and/or sell queen bees, packages of bees, royal jelly, bees' wax, propolis, venom, pollen, and/or other bee products.
