i ran into a similar problem in new york city.
i have a new york state license but its not legal to keep them in new york city. you can get a $2,000 fine. I live in a small suburb of the city so no big deal really.
word around town is that you are only pursued to enforce this antique law (that covers ferrets, caimans, hedgehogs, etc) if public complaints are coming in.
So, i educated my neighbors about bees and wasps (honeybees don't care about summer picnics but yellowjackets do..etc); had pictures of my 4yo daughter next to hive in local newspaper article and store ads; put wasp traps around my garden and showed them brimming with wasps and biting flies and not a single honeybee. BINGO.
don't you just shudder when people call wasps bees?
this is me
