The term hobby beekeeper is used all the time, but what does it mean?
 
The reason for my question is that a local beekeeper is being asked to move
his hives because because this is considered to be an agricultural
enterprise prohibited within city limits.  His defense is that he is only a
hobby beekeeper and therefore exempt.  But this needs to be better defined.
 
Is there limit to the number of hives that determines a hobby beekeeper?
Does selling for profit define if a beekeeper is a hobbyist or not?
 
Any ideas/help?
