Dear list, An acquaintance in NYC sent the following message and I agreed to forward it to BEE-L, in light of the recent discussions of Aurora's ordinance problems. Her name is Jill Goodman and her email is <[log in to unmask]> I have bees on the roof of my brownstone in New York City and the Department of Health wants me to get rid of them. A NYC ordinance does forbid the keeping of wild animals and lists honeybees among the forbidden animals. I am trying to find other people who have had experiences with ordinance against beekeeping or Health Departments that think bees are a nuisance per se, whether they have done anything to bother anyone or not.
