A friend wants to keep bees in her backyard in East Hill to get fresh honey. Is that permitted?

I would imagine you're right. But then again what the hysterical don't know won't make them hysterical. If the bees don't sting anybody that is. lolPkrBum wrote:Even if there's no code violation... I doubt the hysterical society will like it.

Also, there can be a number of other restrictions against bees which may not even be in the zoning ordinance and may be statutory. Private covenants and restrictions in the subdivision may be another layer to check out, and finally any neighbor will have the ability to file a simple nuisance suit if the bees present the same.
My grandfather had a greenhouse, orchard, and extensive gardens on two lots in North Birmingham. He had six hives and the pollination is very important in fruit trees. My grandmother would make pear preserves and nothing was better than pear preserves and fresh honey on biscuits to make a great breakfast. They virtually grew all their food on that extra lot and were literally in the middle of the city. When the queen would move, all hell would break loose, and I remember my Grandfather on his deathbed with lung cancer coming out and getting the queen under control and the swarm under control. He used smoke, and my uncle had a bee suit on, but my grandfather was this tough old buzzard Railroad engineer who could care less about being stung.......I was scared to death to go outside because of the swarms, and I certainly could see where neighbors might freak if the queen was migrating.....but normally they are no big deal.
