As a NY state resident, i am thrilled that the little guy was able to make a good change. Maybe there's hope after all.

I'm very happy about this stupid NYC anti-bee law being repealed. The ban on bees in the city lumped honeybees in with keeping crocodiles, lions and pit vipers. This ban was introduced in 1999 by then Mayor Rudy Giuliani, with a $2,000 fine for every violation. Renegade 'outlaw' beekeepers were hiding their hives or disguising them as filing cabinets or chimneys!

Glad to See and hear this Victory! Now what about Raw Milk ? Can you buy and sell it in NY? We Do it like Grey Market here in Arkansas, but trying to pass a Bill. Yes i know a little off topic ,

I prefer other news sources. But thanks for asking!

But i love that the dumb NYC anti-bee law is getting repealed! :thumbsup:

Farmsteader, I don't think we are allowed to buy raw milk in NY state. Too bad. Wish I could have a dairy goat where we live, but village zoning won't permit it. No chickens either. Rabbits are apparently ok. I don't know if they classify bees as 'livestock' as well....but I'm not asking.
