Any Michigan Beekeepers concerned with the recent ruling "loss" of Right to Farm?
I was unaware of the changes but apparently this just went though. The best I can tell is people with livestock, honeybees included, are no longer under Right to Farm protection with last months ruling. It would appear it would give townships and cities the authority to 'ban' people under certain situations. With many recent changes 'allowing' beekeeping nationwide, and recently a moratorium on an anti-beekping ordinance in nearby Auburn, MI, it wouldn't seem that we would go backwards.
Any thoughts?
