In order to enable support for organic farming methods for livestock as a part of the eco-schemes referred to in Article 31 of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115, it should be possible for Member States to decide that support granted to commitments related to the conversion or maintenance of organic farming practices and methods in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/848 is to take the form of an annual payment for livestock units. It should also be clarified that support for commitments improving farming practices related to apiculture may be granted in the form of annual payment for beehives as this will simplify the calculation of payments for those commitments. To ensure coherence of the definitions used in the CAP Strategic Plans, beehive for the purposes of granting support under eco-schemes referred to in Article 31 of Regulation (EU) 2021/2115 should mean beehive as defined in the delegated act referred to in Article 56, point (b), of that Regulation.
