Yes, it’s official! We can host beehives at our property.

“You may have up to 25 hives, each with one colony. Please see code requirements below:

Maximum of four hives, each with one colony: Lots containing 15,000 sq. ft. or less; Maximum of 15 hives, each with one colony: Lots containing more than 15,000 sq. ft. but less than 35,000 sq. ft.; Maximum of 25 hives, each with one colony: Lots containing 35,000 sq. ft. or more
