My Story as a Pleasanton Beekeeper <br /> In late 2014 my wife and I were taking walks around Pleasanton and noticed that on many of the <br /> flowers we didn't see honey bees. Around this same time my friend gave me an old bee hive box(no <br /> bees) and told me about how nice it is to see a stream of bees flying out of your backyard and into the <br /> sky to find nectar. Because of that visual and due to the lack of bees in Pleasanton I decided to <br /> become a backyard hobby beekeeper. I searched the Pleasanton municipal codes for: beekeeping, <br /> apiary, honey bee, and hive and did not find any results (See figure A below). So I mistakenly <br /> assumed that beekeeping was OK in Pleasanton. <br /> 4- C gcode.us/codes/pleasanton/ <br /> No topics were found matching your search terms.please try Pleasanton Municipal Code <br /> aaah. <br /> Search Print No <br /> Search terms: <br /> Beekeeping apary honey bee hive <br /> title 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS <br /> Title 2 ADMINISTRATION AND PERSONNEL <br /> Title 3 REVENUE AND FINANCE <br /> Title 4(RESERVED) <br /> Title 5 BUSINESS LICENSING AND TAXATION <br /> title 6 SPECIFIC BUSINESS REGULATIONS <br /> Title 7 ANIMALS <br /> Title B(RESERVED) <br /> Title 9 HEALTH AND SAFETY <br /> Title 10 PUBLIC PEACE,MORALS AND WELFARE <br /> Title 11 VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC <br /> Title 12(RESERVED) <br /> Title 13 STREETS,SIDEWALKS AND PUBLIC PLACES <br /> Title 14 WATER <br /> Title 15 SEWERAGE <br /> Title 16(RESERVED) <br /> Title 17 PLANNING AND RELATED MATTERS <br /> Title 18 ZONING <br /> idle 19 SUBDIVISIONS <br /> Title 20 BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION <br /> Figure A <br /> Over the next few months I purchased and captured bee swarms and set up 4 honey bee colonies in <br /> my back yard. See figure B below. My apiary contained 4 honey bee colonies and a water source. <br /> The honey bees are very self-sufficient and only require a water source and flowers for nectar and <br /> pollen. I had these bees without issue from March 1st to July 10th 2014. <br /> 61Page <br />
