The ordinances for both towns are a bit dense, but Chapel Hill classifies
bees as 'livestock,' which can only be kept in a few low-density zoning
districts: R-LD5, RT, MH. Carrboro doesn't specifically mention bees that I
could find, but goes on about how non-pets must be kept on the owner's
property and x distance from property lines. So it seems that neither town
is bee-friendly. Probably best to check with someone at Town Hall before
installing a hive.

You can't keep elephants in Carrboro, either.

All,
Michael Pettiford has bees in a hole in a tree. The hole is ground level
and might be easily accessible via bee-vac. His number is 923-3577.
Happy Beekeeping!
David

Becky,

The Chapel Hill town ordinances can be found here:
http://www.municode.com/resources/gateway.asp?sid=33&pid=19952

The Carrboro ordinances can be found here:
http://www.ci.carrboro.nc.us/TC/towncode.htm

I'm not a lawyer & may have overlooked something, but it doesn't appear
to me that either Chapel Hill or Carrboro have any restrictions
whatsoever on keeping honey bees. Note that by their own specific
definitions, their animal control statutes only include vertebrates so
don't cover honey bees.

However you should be aware that in Carrboro, it is specifically against
the law to possess a camel.

Randall
