PLEASE SIGN OUR NEW PETITION : Legalize Urban Beekeeping in Los Angeles!!

Atlanta, New York, Seattle, Portland, Denver, Spokane, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver and most recently Santa Monica have all taken decisive action and legalized urban beekeeping. Los Angeles currently outlaws beekeeping in residential areas, and the city’s policy is to exterminate all feral honey bees. With worldwide bee populations threatened with Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and urban beekeeping more popular than ever, this policy needs to change. We believe it to be a necessary and just measure requiring immediate action.

“Bumblebee just completed this great new 30′ long mural in an alley off of La Cienega Blvd. in LA. We so love his work. Bee on the look out for big things from him in early 2012”

“According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. It’s wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway. Because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.”

Photos from our National Honey Bee Awareness Day event are up =)

Tonight at the Del Rey Community Council we proposed an urban beekeeping feasibility study (which we modeled after the Mar Vista study that is currently underway)… AND… just the same as Mar Vista, we received UNANIMOUS SUPPORT!! 

We just reach 1,000 signatures on our online petition to legalize urban beekeeping in Los Angeles!!
