Chapel Hill's land use ordinances classify bees as livestock and, as such, does not allow them within residential zoning districts. One of the students with the Carolina Garden Coop and I will be submitting a petition to the Chapel Hill Town Council on Wednesday night (April 15) to have this ordinance revised. We want the town to allow 1-2 hives in backyards. If any of you have the time or interest in coming to support the petition or writing to the town council members, we would appreciate your support. I know there are hives in town, but the University cannot knowingly break the law. The meeting is on Wednesday this week and there is a public hearing on the budget before they open the floor to citizen petitions. So there's no way of estimating what time we may be allowed to present.
