Perhaps the township officials should be informed that bees are not  
'agricultural' but 'apicultural' and so are exempt.  According to my  dictionary 
'agriculture' is the art and practice of cultivating the land.   The beekeeper is 
doing nothing to the land. It would be a pity if the beekeeper  were to lose 
his home apiary through the ignorance or dyslexia of  officialdom.
