I received this from the Wake County Beekeepers.

A public hearing on a proposed beekeeping restrictive ordinance in Cary,

NC was conducted on Thursday, February 23 at 6:30 PM.

Congratulations to the beekeepers, who spoke professionally and

passionately against the ordinance.  Each council member commended the

beekeepers, and unanimously tabled the ordinance.

This is an exemplary demonstration of how to bring "city hall" to the

side of beekeepers.  The council members were attentive, open minded,

and reasonable.

Watch the public hearing here.  Move the slider about 1/4 of the way to

the right, to the 35:45 minute mark, where the beekeeping hearing begins.

Be sure to listen to the council members' reactions after the hearing.

It will do you proud.  Enjoy!
