Local news here in Piedmont NC covered this. NC has a poorly written fairly recent statute that takes away county and municipality powers to completely prohibit beekeeping. The governmental unit involved says they never prohibited beekeeping and that the dispute involves whether a permit was required for these land owners to remove trees, put in a road/driveway and otherwise develop undeveloped land.
