Funny thing is here in Georgia, state law allows bees anywhere. I just thought it was funny that it made the news.
Livestock? You have got to be kidding!!!

This just tops the ignorance pyramid
2-14-41.1. Prohibition against restriction of honeybee production or maintenance.
No county, municipal corporation, consolidated government, or other political subdivision of this state shall adopt or continue in effect any ordinance, rule, regulation, or resolution prohibiting, impeding, or restricting the establishment or maintenance of honeybees in hives. This Code section shall not be construed to restrict the zoning authority of county or municipal governments.
I am not a lawyer, but what does this law here in Georgia say?
