"Bees are essential to pollination, food security, urban agriculture and local honey production and Beekeeping is growing in popularity.
To ensure best practices are maintained to encourage bees to flourish in numbers and to prevent potential negative impacts on people, property, domestic animals and native flora and fauna, it is important that guidelines are available. It is also important that beekeepers are aware of potential issues that can affect bees and the nuisances they can cause to neighbours.
The Southern Beekeepers Association Inc. has produced a Code of Practice for Urban Beekeeping in Tasmania, which the Council has recently endorsed and we are now seeking to amend the Heath and Environmental Services By-law (the principal By-law) to accommodate some of the key issues identified in this code........"
It is good to see that a council can bring itself to consider issues such as this. NOW let's see if real progress can be made on amalgamation, resource recovery or even equitable rates.
We'll just have to watch and wait to see if the dog can stop its tail wagging it?????
