Bees in your Garden?
The City of Aurora Colorado recently had a committee meeting voting to
ban keeping honeybees in residential areas. The crux of the matter came down to a person who is allergic to honeybee stings convincing 2 of the 3 committee members that allowing honeybees to be kept in residential areas would endanger her life. Although she lives in fear of her life she has not sought out desensitization but feels that banning honeybees is a better safety measure. The local paper printed an article about the committee meeting. http://www.zwire.com/site/News.cfm?B...A G=461&rfi=9 I am urging any of you who feel that urban gardeners should have the availability of pollination for their different fruits and other crops to read the article and then post your comments at the end. Thank you. Tom |

That really sucks, and is a good example of what's going wrong with our country today, however if pollination is your only concern use Bumble Bees. Also if you have some extra money, sue the city. -- Emperor Itchy | A little higher, Lord of all I survey | now alittle to the left, with my very narrow vision | a little more... | THAT'S IT!!!!! | Aaahhhhhhh!!! |

Best quote in the article (from a reader comment): "Removing all bees from the city will not make the city a safe place for that allergic person. They are still at risk from wasps and wild bees that don't know how to read city ordinances."

Thank you. Tom Honey bees are banned where I live. I don't mind so much that so many people are just ****ing crazy. The annoying thing is the craziest ones end up in government wearing normal-masks as they destroy the world or march our children into war. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher.

Best course of action is to simply keep an epipen in the house not to ban bees. To be honest, you leave them alone and they don't usually bother you. Susan s h simko at duke dot edu p.s. The only times I've been stung has been while walking in sandals when I've managed to pick up a bee and flip it up between my foot and the sandal. |
