I live in the city of Greensboro. I have been keeping bees for just over a year in my backyard. Last year during the summer I had 6 hives and then reduced them down to 4 later in the fall. Well since then my neighbor has decided to complain about my chickens and therefor the city told me to get rid of the bees. I have applied for a variance for my property. The ordinance says that I can not have a hive within 50 feet of my property line. I was wondering if anyone might like to show up for the meeting on the 28th at 2:00 to support beekeeping in urban areas and to let the committee know how important it really is that they support this kind of activity. I would be thankful for any support. I am planning on going to the city counsel about this to have the ordinance changed as well but this is a whole other process.
The next question is: Is their anyone in Greensboro with about three pollen patties? I don't have time to order them and did not really want to make pollen substitute.
Thanks
Brian
