Denver *area* beekeeping ordinances/laws...?
« on: April 15, 2012, 02:11:32 PM »
Hi there all, great web site!  I have been keeping bees for 4 years in New Mexico.  We are moving to the Denver area later this year but I don't know where our "swarm" will land yet.  I know beekeeping is allowed in *Denver* proper--what about the surrounding communities? Is there a resource somewhere that lists local ordinances, or have I just created a research project?

If none exists, I'm happy to create something, a list or a map, that summarizes where bees are "legal" or not.

Thanks in advance for any input.

HelenRae--It depends on your community.  I look up the community name and then municipal code so, for example, if you type "Thornton municipal code" in to your search engine, the code will appear.  Search it for "bees" and any applicable sections will display.  It's pretty darn efficient.  Most of the suburbs are OK--some are not.  We are working on them all.
