Thanks to those of you who responded to my previous post re. rent-a-hive businesses. Here’s another one that feeds into phase 2 of my research for an apicultural ethics article.
I spoke yesterday with a prominent Atlantic Canada beekeeper who spoke of a “beekeeper’s code.” Part of this is that you do not “crowd” other beekeepers, that is, establish an apiary within 2 miles (3.2 km) of an existing operation, at least without serious consultation with the existing, established beekeeper.
What do you make of this notion of a “beekeeper’s code”? Do you have one in your part of the beekeeping world, and what does it mean? What is the content of this code?
*PS – it’s hard to imagine how such a beekeeper’s code with a 2 mile (3.2 km) buffer around apiaries would work in an urban setting that includes rent-a-hives.
