With the New York City Council bill to legalize beekeeping in NYC  
stalled, the City's Health Department  is poised to make changes to  
the City's health code and remove bees from it's list of animals  
"naturally inclined to do harm."
"...the Board of Health has the authority to amend health codes  
without legislative action. On February 3, the health department will  
hold a public hearing on the proposal introduced Thursday to change  
its animal regulations. ... Barring any public outcry, the changes  
are expected to be approved at the next board meeting in March, and  
beekeeping would be legal by spring."
