Unfortunately, beekeeping isn’t legal quite yet. The unanimous vote that took place in the Public Safety & Regulatory Services subcommittee meeting last Wednesday just advanced the issue for the whole City Council to vote on. I’m not sure when they’ll vote on it.
The bee news is encouraging. On a sort-of related matter, does anyone know the status of keeping goats in the city? Is that issue being revisited soon, too?
Thanks, Heavy Table, for keeping us informed on breaking beekeeping news.
All you would-be Minneapolis beekeepers, please contact your city councilperson to ask them to support urban beekeeping. And then take the great “Beekeeping in Northern Climates” short course at the U of M (available each March).
