§ 6.20.010. Purpose and intent.  


Latest version.
  • The City Council finds that honey bees are of benefit to mankind by providing agriculture, fruit, and garden pollination services and by furnishing honey, wax, and other useful products. The City Council recognizes that gentle strains of honey bees can usually be maintained within populated areas within reasonable densities without causing a nuisance if the bees are properly located and carefully managed. The purpose of this Chapter is to establish certain requirements of sound beekeeping practices, which are intended to avoid problems that may otherwise be associated with the keeping of bees in populated areas.
